Welcome| Karibu| Bienvenidos| Bienvenue|欢迎 to PEDIL
We’re a research lab at the University of Tennessee using data science to improve health outcomes across human-animal ecosystems. From disease surveillance to digital tools, we work at the intersection of epidemiology, innovation, and community resilience.
What We Do
Surveillance & Biosecurity
We model disease risks and support biosecurity innovations in livestock and wildlife systems.
Data Science for One Health
We use big data tools to connect insights across human, animal, and environmental health.
Training & Mentorship
Through workshops and field-based mentorship, we build applied skills for the next generation.
Collaborative Research
We work side-by-side with communities and researchers to co-create impactful research.
Tools that Empower Action
predImmune-FMD helps researchers predict cross-protection between Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) strains using sequence data. This tool supports faster, data-driven vaccine selection in endemic settings—bridging machine learning and field decision-making.
