“I realized that antimicrobial resistance is one of the biggest threats we are facing in global health today.”
With his research project “EquityAMR”, Professor Sundeep Sahay from the Department of Informatics explores AMR as it is one of the biggest threats we are facing in global health. Through his research project he aims to build a more multidisciplinary view on AMR and strengthen public health systems.
“Trust is really the glue of society. It is what binds us together.”
With his research project ‘Pandemic Rhetoric’, Professor Øyvind Ihlen from the Department of Media and Communication explores understanding on how trust is built during a pandemic outbreak. In his research he aims to understand the processes and negotiations that are taking place regarding risk and trust as well as to understand how public health authorities are communicating throughout a crisis.
“We know even less about the immune system as compared to the virus, so clearly, that is where my focus should be”.
Gunnveig Grødeland, head of P1H, explores the understanding of the interaction between a virus and a host. Furthermore, she works on the use of vaccination to modulate immune responses to achieve optimal protection against new and emerging viruses.
We have almost managed to forget the corona pandemic and all that it entailed, but we remember that good vaccines were quickly made. Can we expect the same next time?
Infection with influenza H7N9 ("bird flu") has a mortality rate of around 39%. Should the virus change so that it can spread from person to person, we are likely to face a serious pandemic.
Nobel prize winners May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser traded research-policy advice with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and others at the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters
Our first internal research project, "A Digital Twin for Vaccination Strategies at Geographic Scales," will be starting this semester. This innovative project aims to develop a digital twin model that will enhance our ability to predict transmission patterns under varying levels of vaccine efficacy against current and future viruses.
Richard Hatchett, Chief Executive Officer of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, will visit the University of Oslo in September to receive an honorary doctorate. In celebration of that event, P1H will organize a seminar showcasing Norwegian vaccine research.
Jens Petter Berg led P1H successfully through its startup phase as the interim leader. Now, Gunnveig Grødeland takes over as the new leader.
Professor Nils Chr. Stenseth, deputy head of the Center for Pandemics and One-Health Research (P1H) at SUSTAINIT, has been awarded an ERC Synergy Grant of ten million euros for plague research.
Do you want to contribute to a new and exciting center and shape tomorrow's solutions? The Center for Pandemic and One Health Research (P1H) at the University of Oslo is looking for curious students who are ready to take on the role of 'Change Agents' for one of the greatest challenges of our time.
