Advisory Board

“Understanding and remediating complex problems at the intersection of animal, human and environmental health requires a transdisciplinary approach. As a veterinary epidemiologist, I have experienced the value of multi-disciplinary research teams able to address the social, cultural, economic, ecological, and bio-physical aspects of disease transmission and control.  Through the One Health Institute we will train researchers and scholars as leaders, ready to address current and future complex health problems around the world.“

Dr. Finnis brings deep experience, tremendous talent, unique perspectives, and a strong vision for the Institute. She will continue to build community on this campus and will reinforce the unique transdisciplinary attributes of the OHI.

“The One Health Institute offers a new research and academic platform to promote One Health as an important vehicle to solve intractable problems. It will help us solve complex problems at the intersection that cannot be solved by one discipline alone. Society needs people thinking across disciplines.“

Dominique Charron is a Visiting Scholar in One Health at the University of Guelph where she contributes to developing research and education in One Health, with a focus on the science-to-policy interface. She is the Rapporteur of the One Health High-Level Expert Panel that advises the Quadripartite International organizations, and a director of the McEachran Institute, a think tank focused on veterinary education. Previously, she was Vice-President of Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC), and also led research programs in food security, climate adaptation, Global Health and Ecohealth. While at the Public Health Agency of Canada, she engaged in international cooperation with Caribbean developing countries. She obtained her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and PhD in Epidemiology from the University of Guelph.
