The One Health Microbiome Center at Penn State

We are excited to announce our renaming to the One Health Microbiome Center (OHMC). The Center’s membership has increased to more than 500 members, including 115 faculty from multiple Penn State campuses and over 42 departments. Our primary objectives and achievements are to optimize, accelerate and disseminate knowledge and applications of the microbiome sciences from genomes to ecosystems. Identifying and distinguishing the Center as the first One Health Microbiome Center puts the community at the nexus of the microbiome and One Health sciences, integrating two rapidly growing areas. This intersection will drive training in biology without traditional education silos, and advance diverse and integrative funding streams. Moreover, the new name demonstrates Penn State’s strong leadership in integrating the sciences and science education to meet the workforce and innovation needs of the future. As a growing and highly active organization, we are keen to continue to expand our program portfolio and develop new partnerships with academia, industry, private foundations, and donors.
