The One Health concept is a worldwide strategy for expanding interdisciplinary collaborations and communications in all aspects of health care for humans, animals and the environment. Uppsala's four focus areas are:

  • Infection Ecology and Epidemiology

    IEE network is a collaboration for researchers with interest in zoonotic infections. IEE is an integration concept including several universities and governmental organizations that wish to contribute to a sustainable intellectual platform where veterinarians, physicians, molecular biologists, ecologists and environmental chemists with an interest in zoonotic infections can interact and create synergies.

  • Action on Antibiotic Resistance

    ReAct is an independent global network for concerted action on antibiotic resistance. ReAct aims for profound change in awareness and action to manage the interacting social, political, ecological and technical forces that drive the rising rate of resistant human and animal infection and the rapid spread of resistance within and between communities and countries.

  • New Antimicrobials - Drug Development

    At the Division of Organic Pharmaceutical Chemistry of the Department of Medicinal Chemistry, we perform basic research in both experimental and computational medicinal chemistry. Our research interests encompass a range of targets of pharmaceutical interest, including enzymes and membrane bound G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), with a special focus on infectious diseases.

    RAPID (Rational Approaches to Pathogen Inhibitor Discovery)
    is an integrated centre for structural biology and medicinal chemistry. Our purpose is to create a Centre for drug-design aimed at some of the most serious diseases afflicting humanity, and, in particular, tuberculosis. The Center brings together medicinal/combinatorial chemistry, computational chemistry and structural biology groups at Uppsala University in this multi-disciplinarian effort.
