About the Center for Grain and Animal Health Research: Scientists at CGAHR work in 4 research units (Arthropod-borne Animal Diseases; Grain Quality and Structure; Hard Winter Wheat Genetics; Stored Product Insect and Engineering) to ensure a safe, abundant, and high-quality food supply through innovation research and technology development for plant and animal health. The program is cooperative with Kansas State University and land-grant universities in the U.S. There are 11 scientists and 4 technicians in the ABADRU. The ABADRU mission is to use cutting-edge, systems-level approaches to understand the ecology and biology of arthropod pests and pathogens to develop innovative and biologically relevant solutions for arthropod-borne disease problems. Our vision is to be a leader predicting, preventing, and mitigating the damaging effects of endemic arthropods and the pathogens they transmit to livestock and other animals.
