Attend or review the COVID-19 Math Modelling Seminars
This lab develops new, tailored modelling frameworks and standardized procedures to inform public health and vaccine production decisions and to strengthen our capacity for rapid response to emerging public health issues and vaccine industrial production needs.
Our lab creates an interdisciplinary interface in four targeted areas:
- – acute respiratory infections;
- – vector-borne diseases;
- – food-borne pathogens; and
- – antimicrobial drug resistance.
We provide training for students, post-docs, and health professionals in statistical analysis, optimization, coding, and algorithms that are relevant to predicting and preventing disease spread and providing advice to public health agencies and industry collaborators.
