Being based at a tropical medicine research unit serving South East Asia drives our group to be closely integrated with other disciplines. Our modelling work is therefore highly pragmatic and data-driven, often involving dynamic interplay with experiments and field research. Our main research focus is mathematical models for the transmission, control and elimination of drug resistant malaria. We also work on models for influenza, dengue, and important bacterial infections in South East Asia.

Our projects:

Within host models for malaria infection
Containment of artemisinin resistant malaria in Cambodia
Health care associated infections
Models for spatially stratified empirical treatment protocols for febrile illness in Laos
Model-based evidence synthesis for Streptococcus pneumoniae
Modelling the spread of H1N1 and the impacts of different intervention strategies
Optimal combinations of diagnosis strategies for detecting a dengue outbreak
Understanding rules for population movement in relation to infectious disease transmission using mathematical modeling
Models for gestational age and fetal growth rate
