New knowledge
Controlling disease, from the common cold to HIV/AIDS, food-borne illness and diseases that threaten our food supply.
It’s a complex issue with many steps: treating existing disease, identifying and preventing the spread of emerging illness, and developing new vaccines and therapies.
It holds huge promise: Imagine a world where newborn babies aren’t affected by Zika virus, where influenza is a widely treatable condition where drug resistance bacteria don’t thrive.
But without a firm understanding of the basic science behind disease and a continued drive to understand more, it’s nothing more than a dream.
Ohio State is at the forefront of innovative, research-based ways to control infectious disease.
We bring unparalleled expertise to this fight, and we’re breaking new ground.
