Our research

We are global leaders in emerging infections and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). These are existential threats for humanity and require solutions that address the interdependent roles of humans, animals, the environment and socio-political contexts. They require fundamental research into pathogen biology, genomics and host pathogen interactions to develop tools to advance new public health and therapeutic solutions – and ethical and social research to ensure successful implementation into practice and policy.
