What is Urban One Health? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines "One Health" as a "collaborative, multisectoral, and transdisciplinary approach working at the local, regional, national and global levels with the goal of achieving optimal health outcomes recognizing the interconnection between people, animals, plants and their shared environment."  Detroit and our sister cities across the world face unprecedented challenges related to local, regional and global environmental pressures. "One Health" urban environmental solutions are now required if we are ever to discover the roads that lead to environmental health and ecosystem resilience for all of us.

Keynote Speaker Bios: 

Colin BaslerColin Basler, DVM, MPH, DACVPM: Dr. Colin Basler is the Deputy Director of the CDC's One Health Office and the CDC One Health Liaison to the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE). The One Health Office is the agency's lead for One Health activities domestically and globally. Established in 2009, it is the first formal office dedicated to One Health established in a US federal agency. Dr. Basler has a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and a Masters of Public from Tufts University. Before joining the One Health Office, Dr. Basler trained as a CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) officer and later worked as a veterinary epidemiologist investigating  foodborne and zoonotic disease outbreaks with the Outbreak Response and Prevention Branch (ORPB) within the Division of Foodborne, Waterborne, and Environmental Diseases (DFWED). He is also a diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Preventive Medicine.

 

Peter S. FiskePeter S. Fiske, PhD: Dr. Peter S. Fiske is the Director of the National Alliance for Water Innovation (NAWI) and Water-Energy Resilience Research Institute (WERRI) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. NAWI is the U.S. Dept of Energy's 5-year, $110M investment in desalination research and development and has the goal of enabling cost-effective desalination and water reuse for a much wider range of non-traditional water sources across the U.S. Fiske was the Chief Executive Officer of PAX Water Technologies, Inc. from 2008 until 2017,where he pioneered the use of biomimicry to develop innovative and energy efficient technologies to improve drinking water quality and reliability in municipal water systems. He is a founding faculty member of the Department of Energy's I-Corps Program.
