... Forum Chair Since the Forum on Microbial Threats was formed in 1996, it has provided a struc tured opportunity for leaders from a wide range of disciplines and industries to debate the most effective ways to understand, anticipate, and "manage" emerging infectious diseases. From plant health and food security to the convergence of in fectious disease and noncommunicable diseases, Forum activities have gradually coalesced around key themes: a cross-disciplinary One Health approach that brings together our understanding of human, animal, plant, and environmental health; a readiness to work on the full infectious disease landscape that includes the impact on global health security and economies; and a commitment to serving our nation by focusing on improvements to clinical medicine, public health, policy, and the in adequate antimicrobial and vaccine pipeline.
