National Farm Medicine Center at Marshfield Clinic

The National Farm Medicine Center was founded in response to a growing occupational health problem in America's rural, farming, communities. Today the center is focused on issues in agricultural health and safety encompassing behavioral, laboratory and clinical research. Its laboratories focus on infectious disease, antibiotic resistance of pathogens in livestock and humans, transmission of pathogens via groundwater, and understanding the factors that alter the virulence level of certain pathogens.
