Overview
Background
Simon Reid is a Professor in the School of Public Health at the University of Queensland. He is a keen advocate of One Health and the application of systems thinking approaches to understand and improve interventions for wicked zoonotic disease problems at the human-animal-ecosystem interface such as leptospirosis, brucellosis, human-bat interactions and antimicrobial resistance. His research focuses on understanding how to improve multisectoral governance, planning and implementation of responses to manage One Health problems. He delivers postgraduate courses in systems thinking, communicable disease control and One Health.

An integrated systems model for antimicrobial resistance under changing climate
**Note: This project is supported by a top-up scholarship provided by CSIRO. The student will be co-supervised by Dr Yen Pham and Thong Nguyen-Huy from the CSIRO Health and Biosecurity Unit. Prospective students must be domestic applicants or onshore international students who have completed a program at UQ in 2023. Applicants must be onshore at the time that offers are issued.**
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and climate change are both ‘wicked’ problems spanning multiple sectors, requiring systematic approaches to address. Drivers of AMR are complex as they arise from and interact between the human, animal and environmental systems in dynamic and non-linear dimensions. A changing climate is likely exacerbating AMR and its drivers.
This project will investigate the interrelationships and feedback between climatic factors and the increased growth and spread of bacterial resistance in an integrated model where other non-climatic factors will also be considered. The project will examine how these complex interactions impact AMR in the future under different climate scenarios and propose plausible interventions/management strategies.
