“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.“

“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.“
