Our Approach
One Health Integration
Connecting human, animal, and environmental health systems to study infectious disease risk at the interfaces where spillover happens.
Pathogen Ecology
Studying how pathogens persist, transmit, and emerge across ecological interfaces — from bat roosts to date palm sap to human communities.
Evidence for Action
Producing research outputs that support surveillance, preparedness, and policy translation with government partners in Bangladesh.
Research Focus
Zoonotic Spillover
Identifying the ecological and behavioral drivers of cross-species transmission events at the human–animal interface, with a focus on Nipah virus.
Vector-Borne & Antimicrobial Resistance
Tracking dengue, chikungunya, and resistant pathogens as they spread through interconnected environmental and clinical systems.
Surveillance & Modeling
Developing predictive models and early-warning systems to inform rapid, evidence-based public health response.
A Partnership Across Three Continents
Backed by Three Leading Institutions
CPEZ unites three universities, each contributing distinct and complementary expertise to the consortium.
Work With Us
CPEZ welcomes collaboration proposals from researchers, institutions, and public health agencies working at the human–animal–environment interface.
