This session will showcase statistical methods and data-driven approaches for One Health, reflecting the interconnected health of humans, animals, and the environment. Presentations by women graduate students in statistics will highlight innovative methodological and applied research across One Health domains, spanning the development and application of statistical methods for handling complex, high-dimensional, and heterogeneous data, improving prediction and inference, and addressing uncertainty in human, animal, and environmental health systems. The session also provides a platform for emerging researchers to share their work, engage with the statistical community, and foster collaboration and mentorship.
