Our Research

Disease Prevention Policy and Systems Change

Systems thinking for disease prevention policy

We are exploring the role of methods informed by systems thinking and complexity science in developing and evaluating global- and national-level policy.

Pandemic prevention and global governance​

How do we build governance systems that prevent future pandemics? We are examining the governance gap for international wildlife trade and implications for food, health and livelihoods.​​

Deep prevention of anti-microbial resistance

How do we build governance systems that reduce the negative impacts of AMR? We are examining challenges in the global governance of AMR and implications for health, food and environmental systems.

Intersections between AI, One Health and non-communicable disease

We are exploring the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and One Health in global-level and national-level policy for non-communicable disease prevention.

Global Food System Transition

Surveillance of food systems

How can we improve surveillance systems to better monitor food system impacts on health, sustainability and equity? We are exploring opportunities to improve governance of food systems surveillance.

Corruption and exploitation of the food system​

How and where does corruption occur within the global food system? We are exploring whether and where corruption and exploitation happens, what it looks like and the impacts on diet, health and food systems.

Global food supply alignment

How supportive is the global food supply of food based dietary guidelines that are focused on healthy and sustainable diets? We examined trends in food supply alignment for over 50 years around the world to find out.​

Colonial dynamics and contemporary food systems

How has colonialism shaped our food system? We are looking at the legacy of colonial agendas, policies and administrations in food systems, and how they impact health, food security, culture and sustainability.​

Global Partners and Allyship

Equitable global health research partnerships

How do we build equitable global health research partnerships? We are examining the roles that institutions play in whether and to what extent global health research practices are encouraged and implemented.

Co-design approaches to disease prevention policy

How do we collaboratively develop and design policies for disease prevention? We are exploring co-design techniques to better integrate multi-sectoral perspectives and evidence into disease prevention policy.​
