Research at HIOH
In line with the One Health approach, our research addresses the threat of emerging diseases as well as the evolution of known pathogens, including their antimicrobial resistance. Three main research areas are the focus: ecology and emergence of zoonoses, evolution of pathogens, and epidemiology and ecology of antimicrobial resistance.

Research groups at HIOH
At HIOH, we address essential challenges to humanity such as diseases of zoonotic origin, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), the evolution of pathogens, and habitat changes and their impact on human health.
The scientific work of the respective research groups is closely linked to a common core: The One Health Surveillance (OHS) group coordinates the systematic and longitudinal monitoring of human, animal and environmental health, collecting both samples and data. This unique resource forms the indispensable basis for in-depth research activities and scientific cooperation.
