Modeling
Modeling of infectious diseases involves integrating tools from epidemiology, statistics, ecology and evolutionary biology, sociology, economics and other fields in order to explain patterns in data, evaluate control measures and predict future trends.
Research in the Department of Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases includes:
- Evaluating the impact of targeted control strategies for TB/HIV
- Optimizing the delivery of HIV testing and treatment services
- Identifying and characterizing networks underlying HIV and HCV transmission among injection drug users
- Describing the spread of Zika virus and estimating the risk and burden of disease
- Evaluating the cost-effectiveness of vaccination strategies for novel typhoid conjugate vaccines
- Estimating the impact of vaccination on the incidence of pneumococcal disease in different age groups

Centers and other resources
- Center for Infectious Disease Modeling and Analytics (CIDMA)CIDMA aims to optimize the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of vaccination strategies and other health interventions by quantitatively evaluating and informing public health policies.
- Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS (CIRA)CIRA provides HIV-related resources, skills, services, training, and professional networking opportunities to HIV researchers and practitioners who can contribute to advances in HIV prevention and treatment.
- Ted Cohen LabTed Cohen Lab conducts research that contributes to the global effort to control two infectious diseases of public health importance: tuberculosis (TB) and HIV.
- Transmission Dynamics of Enteric DiseasesOur research focuses on mathematical modeling of infectious diseases, with a special emphasis on the transmission dynamics of enteric diseases.
- Public Health Modeling UnitThis renowned program uses mathematical representations of disease spread, healthcare processes, and human behavior to make better public health decisions and predictions.
- Weinberger LabOur research focuses on the mechanisms driving the observed epidemiological patterns of respiratory infections, particularly pneumococcal disease and RSV.
- Yale Center for Analytical Sciences (YCAS)YCAS collaborative team provides expertise in the design, conduct, and analysis of health and health care studies, methodological development, and education and training.
