The Disease Ecology in a Changing World program
The Disease Ecology in a Changing World (DECO) program is housed within the Center for Human and Planetary Health, a new Center based at the Woods Institute for the Environment and the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability - in close collaboration with the Stanford School of Medicine and the Center for Innovation in Global Health.
As Earth's population grows, scientists are continually discovering new connections between a changing environment and human health, including the ecology of infectious diseases. DECO strategizes and conducts solutions-oriented research to support healthy ecosystems and healthy people. This includes studying the ecological, environmental, and socioeconomic drivers of diseases that are transmitted through the environment. DECO investigates where the diseases occur, how they spread, the role of climate and land-use change, and win-win ecological solutions that can curb transmission, improve human health, and protect the health of the environment that underpins it. Learn more about DECO and its three core research projects here.
