Science Committee

We are fortunate to have a panel of scientific advisors at Humanimal Trust, made up of leading human and animal health professionals, academics and researchers from around the world.

They work independently to support our Board of Trustees, reviewing grant applications and recommending projects to be funded within our priority areas. These projects will all be designed to bring about a better understanding of One Medicine and support its global implementation.

Professor Roberto La Ragione, Chair of Trustees at Humanimal Trust and Interim Chair of the Science Committee, said: “We know that One Medicine has transformative potential across all areas of medicine where physiological and genetic similarities exist between humans and animals.

“Research that the Trust has previously funded has the potential to help improve the lives of both humans and animals with similar conditions, and with their combined professional experience, expertise and passion for One Medicine, our new Science Committee will ensure that we are on the right path to developing further evidence that a collaborative, One Medicine approach can benefit all patients, regardless of their species.”
