Morten Tryland


Professor II

Job description

Project leader for "Climate Change and Infectious Diseases - A One Health Approach", which is funded by NORAD (NORHED-II) for the period 2021-2026. The project is addressing climate change and infection biology in Uganda and South Sudan, with Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda, being the main collaborating partner in South. The project has enrolled six PhD students and six MSc students who are working with infectious diseases that may be transmitted between animals and man, such as tuberculosis, rabies and Ebolavirus.
