Interdisciplinary Collaboration Hub
The School of Public Health has established Interdisciplinary Collaboration Hubs to drive advancements in public health through integrated research, education, and community engagement. Building upon the School’s existing strengths, the hubs encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration that advances knowledge and translates it into practical community health improvements. This initiative highlights our School’s commitment to advancing public health through sustainable, interdisciplinary partnerships that generate meaningful academic and societal impact.
Healthy Aging Hub
The Healthy Aging Hub leverages Elderly Biobank (EB) which was built on the Elderly Health Service (EHS) Cohort, to advance interdisciplinary research on healthy aging. It establishes collaborative platforms that bridge epidemiology, biostatistics, pharmacology and health economics to better understand chronic diseases. Through the valuable data resources, seminars and roundtable discussions, the hub empowers researchers and fosters networking and collaboration opportunities. By bridging research with real-world applications, it shares findings with the public and translates the findings into public health promotion initiatives that promote healthy aging and longevity.

One Health Hub
The One Health Hub is dedicated to advancing solutions for complex health challenges at the human-animal-environment interface, embodying the One Health approach. By bringing together the diverse strengths of the School of Public Health and empowering the community, we create opportunities for collective action aimed at achieving population health outcomes. Through strategic knowledge exchange, collaborative research partnerships, and dynamic community outreach, we tackle urgent issues such as antimicrobial resistance, emerging infectious diseases, and the far-reaching effects of climate change.
