One Health: Preparing the Next Generation for a Changing World
Faculty of Life Sciences · University of Lagos
Join us in pioneering integrated research and pathways bridging human pathology, veterinary surveillance, and atmospheric variables to sustain future societies.
Conference Commences August 4
Countdown to August 4, 2026
Focus of FLS One Health 2026
The Inaugural Annual Conference of the Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Lagos brings together scholars, industry leaders, and policy frameworks around the **"One Health"** paradigm.
With the rapid shift in planetary climates and urbanization, identifying transmission cycles, heavy metal bio-accumulation pathways, and biological safety mechanisms becomes imperative. This conference targets research outputs that drive real-world application, translating laboratory discovery into life-saving policies.
