About

We apply multidisciplinary approaches to emerging issues in communicable diseases. We combine strengths in applied epidemiology with mathematical and spatial modelling to translate research findings into policy and practice. 

Projects

Latitudinal gradients in disease

Developing spatial methods to integrate global data and predict the risk of infections under different scenarios of climate and land use change.
