Introduction to Mathematical Models of the Epidemiology & Control of Infectious Diseases
Short Course for Public Health Professionals, since 1990
1-12 September 2008 at Imperial College London
Our understanding of infectious-disease epidemiology and control has been greatly increased in recent years through mathematical modelling. Insights from this increasingly-important and exciting field are now informing policymaking at the highest levels, for pandemic influenza, SARS, HIV/AIDS, TB, malaria, foot-and-mouth disease and other infections.
Since 1990, this short course has 'demystified' mathematical modelling, and kept public-health professionals, policy makers, and medical and veterinary researchers, up-to-date with what they need to know about this fast-moving field. It is taught by active researchers in the world-leading Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology (www.imperial.ac.uk/medicine/research/researchthemes/publicandint/ide), which advises public health agencies, governments, international organisations, and pharmaceutical companies, and hosts the MRC Centre for Outbreak Analysis & Modelling, UNAIDS Epidemiology Reference Group secretariat, Partnership for Child Development, and the Gates Foundation-funded Schistosomiasis Control Initiative that has treated over 12 million children to date in six countries in Africa.
This programme will be of interest worldwide to public health professionals, policy makers, health economists, commissioning agencies, immunologists, medical, veterinary, biological and pharmaceutical scientists.
