Ellen Brooks Pollock: Tuberculosis, Covid, influenza and beyond: responding to epidemics with a mathematical toolbox
Infectious disease modelling is about creating mathematical descriptions of epidemics. In doing so, we aim to say something about the drivers of epidemics and strategies for reducing their impact on human and animal morbidity and mortality. In this talk, I will give some examples of elegant infectious disease mathematics and discuss principles for good modelling.
Katy Turner: Adventures in modelling and evaluation of public health interventions
This talk will take in the varied topics of chlamydia, gonorrhoea, primate electrocutions, dog poo and antimicrobial resistance. The common theme for this eclectic mix? I have used mathematical models and data analyses to understand the effect of different interventions on disease and health outcomes in all these biological systems.
