Faculty, staff, students and members of the public can attend this celebration of One Health research and leadership at NC State. The symposium will feature a keynote presentation from Laura Kahn (One Health Initiative), research talks from the 2024-25 Global One Health Fellows, a poster session, an engaging panel discussion on antimicrobial resistance, networking opportunities, and more.
Key Note Presentation
Laura Kahn, co-founder of the One Health Initiative, will lead a keynote presentation on A One Health Analysis of Food Safety & Security, Antimicrobial Resistance, and Climate Change in the 21st Century.
Read Laura Kahn’s bio
For 15 years, Dr. Laura H. Kahn was a research scholar with the Program on Science and Global Security at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs, Princeton University. Her education and training encompass nursing, medicine, public health, and public policy.
In April 2006, she published Confronting Zoonoses, Linking Human and Veterinary Medicine in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Journal of Emerging Infectious Diseases which helped launch the One Health Initiative, a global movement promoting the health of all species by increasing communication and collaboration between human, animal, plant, environmental, and ecosystem health professionals.
Dr. Kahn is the author of three policy books. The first, Who’s in Charge? Leadership during epidemics, bioterror attacks, and other public health crises, was originally published in 2009 by Praeger Security International. In 2020, a second edition was issued with a new preface discussing leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her second book, One Health and the Politics of Antimicrobial Resistance, was published in June 2016 by Johns Hopkins University Press. Her third book, One Health and the Politics of COVID-19, was published in October 2024 by Johns Hopkins University Press.
A native of California, Dr. Kahn holds a bachelor’s degree in nursing from UC Los Angeles, a doctorate in medicine from the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, a master’s degree in public health from Columbia University and a master’s degree in public policy from Princeton University. In 2014, the American Association of Public Health Physicians awarded her with a Presidential Award for Meritorious Service, and in 2016, the American Veterinary One Health Society awarded her with their highest honor, the K.F. Meyer-James H. Steele Gold Head Cane Award, for her work in One Health.

Panel Discussion: One Health Perspectives on Antimicrobial Resistance
Recipients of seed grants through our Grand Challenges Addressing Program on Antimicrobial Resistance (GCAP-AMR) will present flash talks on their interdisciplinary research. Projects include modeling of AMR organism colonization, development of novel materials, understanding AMR risks associated with tidal flooding, approaches to course-based research experiences on AMR, and machine learning for antibiotic combination discovery. Following the flash talks, speakers will have a dynamic conversation on the application of One Health perspectives to the global problem of antimicrobial resistance. Speakers and panelists include:
- Cristina Lanzas, College of Veterinary Medicine
- Reza Ghiladi, College of Sciences
- Angela Harris, College of Engineering
