One Health is a concept that is increasingly important in science and emphasizes the close, and often complex, relationship between human health, animal health, and the environment. Presently, this concept is being used to develop new knowledge in an integrated manner that involves multiple disciplines, such as medicine, veterinary science, and public health.
The One Health concept stresses the importance of promoting human health, animal health, and environmental health together, because a problem with one aspect may eventually cause a problem with the others. Thus, environmental factors may lead to the development of diseases both in humans and in animals.
Professor Dr. H.R.H. Princess Chulabhorn Mahidol considers that this is an important issue that should be highlighted for serious discussion and has therefore deemed it a fitting time to organize the 9th Princess Chulabhorn International Science Congress with the theme of “The Challenges of One Health: The Roles of Biosciences and Chemistry”.
The scientific program will cover the following inter-related areas:
- Antimicrobial Resistance
- Climate Change and Health
- Communicable Diseases
- Diseases of Public Health Concerns (Genetic Diseases, Cancer)
- Drug Development for Prevention and Treatment
- Environmental Health Issues (Air Pollution, E-waste, Plastics, etc.)
- Food Safety and Security
- Impacts of Scientific Advances on One Health
- Zoonotic Diseases
