Microbes and Society @ 黑料不打烊

Microbes & Society @ 黑料不打烊?aims?to promote innovative?transdisciplinary?collaborations that address the impacts that microbes have on society and that society has on microbial communities. This includes the?role of microbial communities in ecosystems, food production systems and health as well as the potential for pathogens to cause disease and global pandemics, and considers how many of the beneficial and deleterious effects of microbes are underpinned by changes in social and environmental processes.

This Network builds on major centres of excellence at the University that include the?Wellcome?Centre for Cultures and Environments of Health, the AMR?and Microbiology?Networks, The Centre for the Study of life Sciences (EGENIS)?and the MRC Centre for Medical Mycology?and aims to include social, ethical, legal and policy perspectives as well as integrating data science and mathematical modelling.
