One Health

The One Health approach represents an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary framework that promotes systems thinking to address the greatest challenges of our time, including degradation of natural systems, emerging pathogens, and increasing food and health insecurity.  The initiative is led by a core team of investigators spanning human, wildlife and ecosystem health working at molecular, population and global systems scales to establish a One Health Consortium at University of Toronto. This collaborative network will explore interconnections across the scales of life from molecules, genomes, cells/cell systems and individual hosts up to populations and the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The U of T One Health Consortium seeks to fill knowledge gaps in neglected areas of study of the natural world as it relates to the health of all species to work towards mitigation of key challenges including biodiversity loss, pathogen spillover and loss of ecosystem services.

Building bridges across disciplines: One Health Consortium hosts inaugural network-building event at the Toronto Zoo

On June 3, 2025, the University of Toronto’s One Health Consortium brought together researchers, partners, and trainees for a dynamic day of knowledge-sharing and community building at the Toronto Zoo. The One Health Network Building Event marked a significant step in fostering interdisciplinary connections across human, animal, and environmental health.  The day opened with a […]
