One health, One mission : Tackling Vector-Borne Threats

 Our research particularly targets (re)emerging tick-borne pathogens and pathogen discovery. We aim to investigate transmission pathways by integrating genomics and eco-epidemiological data to identify root causes. Through applied education and prevention, training, research, and outreach, we promote One Health principles and work to advance disease prevention strategies.
