Overview
Our dynamic, interdisciplinary team uses modelling to guide effective and cost-effective responses infectious diseases and global health problems. We are at the forefront of modelling across numerous thematic areas, including:
- COVID-19
- Hepatitis C
- Hepatitis B

- Malaria
- Nutrition
- Maternal, Newborn and Child health
- Adolescent Health
- Health systems and service delivery platforms
Our methodological approaches are adapted to the data available and key policy questions being addressed, and includes a variety of:
- Deterministic and stochastic models
- Population-level and agent-based models
- Compartmental and network models
- Costing studies
- Cost-effectiveness analyses
- Cost-benefit and return on investment analyses
- Resource optimisation analyses
- Analyses of large datasets using statistical and machine learning approaches
