Transmission Dynamics of Infectious Diseases
Applied Math, Ecology, Epidemiology, Evolution, Pure Math, Statistics
In this stream, students will work to understand how transmission dynamics of infectious diseases impact control and elimination efforts; develop and apply mathematical and statistical methods to quantify infectious disease spread; and inform decision support for public health and healthcare response to outbreak. Students will work with a model of Cholera transmission to understand how expanding treatment guidelines impacts disease transmission and the risk of developing antibiotic resistance.
