malaria/tb

Malaria

An interdisciplinary group of researchers with an interest in developing models to inform public health decision-making

influenza/arboviruses

Influenza

Developing the best available statistical and epidemic models of influenza by gathering primary data, leveraging routine surveillance and conducting secondary analyses.

Find out more

Arboviruses

Elucidating the demographic and climatic drivers of transmission, characterising spatiotemporal heterogeneity in transmission intensity and understanding patterns of disease persistence.

NTDs/enteric

Neglected tropical diseases

Using statistical and mathematical models to understand transmission dynamics and identify optimal control and treatment strategies for NTDs.

Enteric infections

We work on a number of enteric pathogens, including poliovirus, rotavirus, enteroviruses, typhoid, Clostridium difficile and Campylobacter. Current research is focused on methods to analyse next-generation sequencing data and to model the spread of antimicrobial resistance.

bacterial/fungal

Bacterial pathogens

Our work aims to make the best use of the recent explosion of bacterial genome data. We are at the forefront of the development of new generally applicable statistical and computational tools to exploit genomic sequencing data in the fight against bacterial pathogens

Find out more

Fungal pathogens

We study emerging fungal infections by using an evolutionary framework to determine the biological and environmental factors that are driving epidemics and epizootics of novel fungal disease across human, wildlife and plant species
