WISE Program for One Health Frontier Graduate School of Excellence

 

 

   The development of preventive and curative medicine and the promotion of preventive measures have made it possible to control certain infectious diseases. At the same time, however, emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases have successively occurred, posing a threat to humankind. In addition, health hazards to people and animals due to chemical substances and the destruction of the ecosystem constantly occur as people enjoy the conveniences of life. These problems occur beyond national boundaries. We now have a mission to promote a healthy environment of people and animals from damaging hazards (infectious agents and chemicals) and preserve a sustainable and healthy biosphere and ecosystem for future generations.
   The One Health Frontier Graduate School of Excellence, promoted by Hokkaido University’s Graduate School of Veterinary Medicine and Graduate School of Infectious Diseases, produces experts with a clear philosophy of disease control and prevention and a balanced international perspective who can see the health of animals, people and the ecosystem from a higher point of view and who can design and implement solutions involving One Health (professionals with knowledge and technological expertise). For more information of Graduate Schools, see the website.
