关于
The Institute for Heath in the Human Ecosystem (IHHE) was established in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences at the University of Idaho in 2017. The IHHE creates a new model of innovative, collaborative and transdisciplinary research, engagement and transformative education in plant, animal and human diseases to train the next generation of skilled leaders and to improve the lives of people in Idaho, the northwest and around the world. 这样做的时候, the IHHE supports the University of Idaho to shape the future through innovative thinking, facilitation of top-tier research, transformative training and mentoring, and support of innovative education.
We bring together experts and trainees from relevant fields of plant, animal and human diseases to share knowledge, tools and strategies. Through these efforts, we seek to identify core processes to accelerate novel discoveries and innovative and sustainable interventions for coordinated improvements in plant, animal and human health. 原则上, the control of plant diseases has much in common with control of diseases that impact human and animal health, including shared core process and key ecosystem drivers. 在这种情况下, we aim to identify tools and research perspectives from agriculture and from human and animal health that can be leveraged for sustainable health in the human ecosystem.
The IHHE establishes a working model — through symposia, 课程, funded research and support for undergraduate and graduate education — that shows how communication and collaboration among researchers across plant, animal and human diseases can be achieved and applied successfully. Sustainable solutions are those that address common problems through coordination and synthesis.
Individual Memberships
Individual membership is open to biologists, 社会科学家, 政策制定者, 工程师, physical scientists, 数学家, 流行病学家, modelers and experts in related areas who are interested in the parallels, challenges and opportunities for intervention across plant, animal and human diseases at any scale of study. 请 电子邮件我们 to learn about IHHE individual membership benefits and opportunities to contribute to our mission.
