This group brings together experts working across various fields and is composed of faculty members, postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, community members, and industry professionals who all share the common goal of combating AMR through innovative and collaborative efforts.
This group is a collaboration between Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency and UT whose goal is to contribute to the management of CWD in the state and beyond through facilitating UT faculty’s activities on CWD (research, training, and outreach) and synergizing those activities with state and federal agencies. Currently, three core research teams (CRTs) are working on CWD projects from the aspects of (1) deer movement and genetics, (2) human dimension and economic impacts, and (3) prion detection and environmental manipulation.
