She also assists in the development of a transdisciplinary strategy for planetary health and environmental research.
Eunice is passionate about integrating knowledge and practices of physical and social sciences to understand interactions between human health and the natural systems on which it depends. Taking a systems approach, her research focuses on identifying routes of human exposure to antibiotics and antibiotic-resistant bacteria within and beyond the clinical setting.
