About Us

Where Climate Intelligence Meets Health Innovation

Introduction

Welcome to CPM Int'l Research Institute for Climate Health

The CPM International Research Institute for Climate Health (CPM Int’l) is an independent, multidisciplinary research and innovation institute hosted at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Nigeria — committed to advancing scientific excellence at the intersection of climate change, infectious diseases, artificial intelligence, pathogen genomics, One Health, and health systems innovation.

We were established on a simple but powerful conviction: the future of global health depends on our ability to anticipate health threats rather than merely respond to them.

As climate change continues to reshape the distribution, transmission, and severity of infectious diseases, new scientific approaches are required to protect populations and strengthen health systems. CPM exists to pioneer those approaches through cutting-edge research, digital innovation, strategic partnerships, and evidence-based solutions that improve lives.

Our Institute brings together scientists, clinicians, engineers, environmental experts, epidemiologists, data scientists, policymakers, and development partners to transform scientific knowledge into practical tools that strengthen preparedness, resilience, and sustainable development.

"The future of global health depends on our ability to anticipate health threats rather than merely respond to them."

Foundational Journey

Our Story

CPM International Research Institute was founded with a vision to build a globally connected research ecosystem capable of addressing one of the twenty-first century’s greatest challenges—the complex relationship between climate change and human health.

Recognizing that conventional disease surveillance systems often operate independently of environmental intelligence, the Institute set out to create a new generation of scientific frameworks that integrate climate science, public health, artificial intelligence, laboratory medicine, genomics, and digital technologies into unified decision-support systems.

Today, CPM Int'l is evolving into a platform where multidisciplinary science drives innovation, partnerships inspire discovery, and research translates into meaningful public health impact.

Integrated Framework

What Makes CPM Int'l Different?

"At CPM Int'l, we do not see climate, pathogens, health systems, artificial intelligence, or environmental change as separate disciplines. We see them as interconnected components of a single ecosystem."

This philosophy shapes every aspect of our work—from research and innovation to training, policy engagement, and international collaboration.

Our strength lies in our ability to integrate diverse scientific disciplines into practical solutions that anticipate emerging health threats and improve decision-making.

Outlook

Our Vision

To become a globally recognized centre of excellence advancing transformative research, innovation, and intelligent solutions that build climate-resilient health systems and improve population health worldwide.

Global Excellence

Purpose

Our Mission

To generate world-class scientific knowledge, develop innovative technologies, strengthen research capacity, foster strategic partnerships, and translate climate-health intelligence into practical solutions that improve health security, preparedness, and sustainable development.

Evidence-Led Solutions

Core Competencies

Our Scientific Identity

CPM Int'l is built upon six interconnected pillars:

Climate Change and Health

Evaluating the systemic pathways through which shifts in climate parameters impact human wellness and global health systems.

Active Program

Climate-Sensitive Infectious Diseases

Investigating the distribution, ecology, and transmission patterns of vector-borne, water-borne, and zoonotic pathogens.

Active Program

Artificial Intelligence and Digital Health

Developing machine learning architectures and digital twins to predict outbreaks and enhance public health decision-support.

Active Program

Pathogen Genomics and Molecular Epidemiology

Deploying high-throughput genomic sequencing to track pathogen evolution, drug resistance, and transmission chains.

Active Program

One Health

Operationalising the critical interfaces between human, animal, plant, and environmental health domains.

Active Program

Health Systems Innovation

Designing smart, adaptive, and resilient clinical networks equipped to withstand climate shocks and load surges.

Active Program

Flagship Project

CHIP™ – Climate Health Intelligence Platform

At the heart of CPM Int'l is CHIP™ (Climate Health Intelligence Platform)—our flagship scientific framework.

CHIP™ is an AI-enabled Climate Health Digital Twin that continuously integrates climate observations, environmental intelligence, disease surveillance, laboratory diagnostics, pathogen genomics, satellite information, and predictive analytics into a unified decision-support ecosystem.

Rather than focusing solely on outbreak detection, CHIP™ enables predictive preparedness by simulating future risks, identifying emerging threats, and supporting timely public health interventions.
