Water-borne diseases

Protecting precious water and halting water-borne disease

All life depends on water, and today we face critical water-related challenges due to climate change, population growth, political strife, and the potency of diseases like cholera and pathogenic E. coli.

To meet these challenges, our biomedical researchers are investigating the biology of water-borne pathogens and their spread to prevent outbreaks and treat infection.

Collectively these researchers are delivering better strategies to protect individuals, communities, and entire regions from water-borne disease. Your contribution advances their work for a healthier world. Make a gift today.
