In today’s interconnected world, a disease threat anywhere is a disease threat everywhere. Through research, education and partnership, our Global Health Center advances health equity in low-resource settings around the world. The Global Health Center is a collaboration supported by the Institute for Public Health and the Department of Medicine at Washington University in St. Louis.
We aim to improve global health through transdisciplinary programs and partnerships across Washington University in St. Louis and around the world.
- We further research and innovation in global health across disciplines including infectious disease, nutrition, maternal and child health, aging, and chronic disease.
- We are thought leaders who convene national and international experts to find solutions to emerging global health challenges.
- We nurture development of students and trainees helping to build the next generation of leaders in global health.
- We foster connections among students and faculty to advance sharing, collaboration and innovation.
Global health is collaborative trans-nation research and action for promoting health for all.
