Health Crisis Management Information Analysis / Environmental Health Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uses mathematical models to understand how infectious diseases spread and to inform control measures.
AboutAbout the lab
Taking on infectious disease epidemics with mathematical models.
The Health Crisis Management Information Analysis / Environmental Health Lab conducts research and education mainly on infectious diseases.
Its subfields include estimating the natural history of infectious diseases and clarifying how infections spread using mathematical and statistical models, evaluating control measures, and forecasting epidemics. The theoretical epidemiology (mathematical epidemiology) of infectious diseases is the common pillar of all of these.
The lab also works on outbreak investigation, surveillance, development of new modeling techniques, and demographic research.
The lab aims to train advanced specialists in infectious disease epidemiology and theoretical epidemiology.
Key terms
- Theoretical epidemiology
- The study of how epidemics of infectious diseases work and how effective control measures are, using mathematical models
- Effective reproduction number
- The average number of people that one infected person transmits the infection to at a given point in time
- Surveillance
- Continuously monitoring the occurrence of disease, and collecting and analyzing information about it
ResearchResearch themes
The lab's research centers on capturing the dynamics of epidemics when emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases occur, and on contributing to the development of the control measures that are needed.
