Global health relies on biomedical scientists and public health workers who can
recognize and resolve infectious disease problems at the local level.
In developing countries, these investigators face tremendous challenges, including the lack of technical training, research tools, financial resources, and up-to-date scientific information.
It is the mission of the Sustainable Sciences Institute to 'develop scientific research capacity in areas with pressing public health problems'.
To that end, we help local biomedical scientists gain access to training, funding, information, equipment, and supplies, so that they can better meet the public health needs of their communities.
