One Health Research

The One Health Platform (OHP) is intended to create a coordinating, dynamic structure that supports inter- and transdisciplinary scientific development in the One Health field in accordance with the One Health definition of the One Health High Level Expert Panel (OHHLEP), links national and international funding initiatives, provides impetus and gives scope for identifying research gaps and needs.

Episode 2 - Pesticides, ecosystems and health

In this episode of the One Health Podcast, Dr. Dana Thal talks to Prof. Dr. Matthias Liess, Head of the Department of Systems Ecotoxicology at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research. Among other things, they discuss the complex interrelationships in (aquatic) ecosystems. What effects can pesticides have in bodies of water and how can this affect human health?

Episode 1 – the One Health Platform

In the first episode of the One Health Podcast, Dr. Dana Thal talks to Prof. Dr. Fabian Leendertz, founding director of the Helmholtz Institute for One Health and one of the three site managers of the One Health Platform, about the One Health approach in general. What does the approach involve? What opportunities and challenges does it offer for research? What contribution can One Health make to disease prevention?
