Meet Our One Health Ph.D. Students

If given the opportunity to address a global health issue, I would prioritize childhood malnutrition and stunting. These issues carry significant human and economic costs, particularly in low-resource regions such as Sub-Saharan Africa.

I would like to contribute towards lessening the impact of emerging and re-emerging diseases on communities to minimize the negative impact vulnerable groups may face.

I am interested in various areas of one health, veterarian medicine, environmental toxicology and conservation.

If I could solve one global health problem it would be climate change as this is an issue of rising concern and greatly affects all public and environmental health outcomes.

My career goal is to become a One Health expert with a special focus on zoonotic diseases and the climate crisis. To achieve this, I aspire to deepen my knowledge in surveillance, prevention, and control of infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance in the context of climate change.

I would like to contribute in the elimination of cholera and malaria in the most affected areas of the planet by better understanding the adaptation of the causal pathogens and vectors to their changing environment.

I am interested in working internationally with vector-borne diseases or participating in the Epidemic Intelligence Service.

I choose U of Florida because of its outstanding record and professional standards; it is fully recognized internationally and it is an exceptionally captivating and beautiful university.
