How do you detect new infection risks without knowing in advance what to look for? Within NCOH’s Pandemic Preparedness project, researchers are developing smart, pathogen-agnostic surveillance methods to identify emerging threats earlier at the interface of humans, animals and the environment.

The Netherlands Centre for One Health (NCOH) brings together expertise from Dutch knowledge institutions on humans, animals, and the environment to better understand infection risks. The Pandemic Preparedness research project gathers scientific knowledge to predict and prevent infectious diseases and to limit their impact on society. In this programme, the SENTINEL study focuses on developing a permanent infrastructure that can be activated and extended immediately in the event of an outbreak. Susanne Bogers and Mark Power (Erasmus MC) take stock of the situation.

A study by @UMCUtrecht and @UnivOxford reports that point-of-care testing alone does not reduce antibiotics use for respiratory infections in primary care. This indicates that testing should be embedded within broader antimicrobial stewardship strategies https://edu.nl/byd9b
Het UMC Utrecht zoekt een promovendus (arts-onderzoeker) voor onderzoek naar bacteriofagen als nieuwe behandeloptie bij terugkerende urineweginfecties. Een uniek project waarin kliniek en onderzoek samenkomen.

NCOH bundles One Health top research
The Netherlands Centre for One Health (NCOH) aims for an integrated One Health approach to tackle the global risk of infectious diseases. NCOH commits to create durable solutions for this major challenge by bundling world-leading academic top research in the Netherlands in the area of One Health.
Young NCOH
Young NCOH is the network for PhD students and post-docs from the NCOH research groups. Aim of the network is sharing knowledge and expertise in One Health related disciplines, which can lead to new collaborations in research.
Complementary research themes
The 4 NCOH strategic research themes are complementary and interactive. They focus on studying the interactions and connections between human, veterinary, wildlife, and environmental health. The focus of NCOH is on (re-)emerging infectious diseases, epidemics, and antimicrobial resistance, including veterinary and environmental challenges. Its objective is to find sustainable solutions for global One Health challenges. How NCOH and its researchers accomplish this, you can read in our NCOH interactive brochure.
NCOH is partner in the Netherlands Antibiotic Development Platform (NADP).
