We work on global problems like antimicrobial resistance, zoonotic disease, food insecurity, and climate-related health risks — challenges that cross borders and sectors. By bringing together public health, law, environmental science, nutrition, and more, we uncover how systems interact, where risks emerge, and where change is possible.

Equitable Partnerships That Drive Change

Systems are built on people, power, and policy. We collaborate globally — with researchers, policymakers, and civil society — through equitable partnerships that value both local knowledge and global evidence.

From Insight to Action

We don’t just study systems — we work to shift them. Using tools from systems and implementation science, we map feedback loops, model scenarios, and guide practical change in real-world contexts.

Building Capacity for Systems Approaches

Through training and mentorship, we help build a global network of researchers and practitioners skilled in systems methods and navigating systems change, One Health, AMR, and zoonoses — all aimed at transforming policy and practice.

Research Areas

• Global Food System Transition – We generate evidence to inform policy and governance approaches to support a global transition toward health, sustainable, and equitable food systems.
• Disease Prevention Policy and Systems Change – To respond to complex global health challenges, we use systems methods and approaches to ask and answer questions that inform systems change.
• Global Partners and Allyship – We are identifying opportunities and strategies to promote equitable global health research partnerships and multi-sectoral evidence integration.
• Health System Policy and Implementation - We support the development and implementation of policies that prioritize primary healthcare to ensure the rights of patients, communities, and providers.
