The RISK Lab studies the anthropology of human health risks. We are interested in how humans balance health-related biological and social risks on a daily basis and in potentially complex ways. Much of our work centers on nutrition and infectious disease trade-offs of human-animal-environment interactions using the concept of One Health. A fundamental goal of our research is to identify "win-wins" for environmental, food and global health security and to identify and test evidence and community-based solutions that meet the needs of people locally.
