The University of Toronto’s One Health Network Building Event
The University of Toronto One Health Team invites you to a one-day event to refine the research network’s three pillars through your feedback.
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 the 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 aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The UofT 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 the mitigation of key challenges, including biodiversity loss, pathogen spillover, and loss of ecosystem services.
Our June 3rd workshop will unite a diverse group of researchers to share insights and contribute to the development of the University of Toronto One Health Consortium. Rooted in interdisciplinary collaboration, the workshop's outcomes will directly inform the initiative's direction, reflecting all participants' collective input and shared vision.
