TOWARD A WORLD FREE FROM THE THREAT OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES
For the past 15 years, a new infectious disease has been discovered nearly every year, with an outbreak reported on nearly every continent. These threats of food-borne illnesses, pandemic diseases, climate change, and global trade and transit underscore the importance of addressing the complexity of infectious diseases and public health preparedness.
Long dedicated to the study of microbial pathogenesis and the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases, Ohio State is strategically investing to expand its team-approach to the discovery and solution applications across 22 disciplines spanning human, animal and plant health.
Ohio State is committed to bringing unparalleled expertise to this fight and breaking new ground by connecting new knowledge to applications for infectious diseases and improving the implementation and efficacy of solutions. Please contact our faculty hires to learn more.
