Ferguson, Hoenig and the Comparative Biosciences faculty at the University of Illinois, College of Veterinary Medicine are in the forefront of important One Health (One Medicine) collaborative research activities that affect animal and human patients.  In addition to “public health”, comparative medicine/translational medicine are critical clinical health components under the One Health umbrella. Interdisciplinary, collaborative comparative medicine research has, in the past, expeditiously developed and can significantly help develop future advances in diagnoses and treatments for cancer, cardiovascular diseases, joint and skeletal diseases, metabolic disorders, and others.
