Providing clean water and sanitation

Two billion people lack access to sanitation and/or clean water, leading to chronic gut infections, compromised nutrition, and impaired development. Through a ‘one health’ approach, we are assessing and informing interventions to reduce these exposures.

Focal areas

• Profiling gut pathogens and connections with diet, immunity, and the microbiome
• Impacts of waterborne pollutants and emerging contaminants on health
• Integrated ‘one health’ surveillance of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance
• Informing and assessing built interventions to improve sanitation and water quality
