GHI and the One Health Centers support basic and translational research in Emerging Infectious Diseases.
How we do it:
- Providing surveillance, monitoring and evaluation for infectious diseases across humans, animals, and plants.
- Providing support for research and vaccine development for drug/antimicrobial resistant and neglected diseases.
- Establishing in-country biobanks, with Institutional Review Board (IRB) approvals following international standards on protection of human subjects, that facilitate connections between labs and maximize the information gleaned from sampling.
- Facilitating in-country IRBs and financial transactions, and connect investigators with overlapping interests.
- Facilitating thoughtful collaborations with industry that are advised by and advance the interests of local communities.
