Featured Modeling Analyses

The Public Health Modeling Unit (PHMU) at the Yale School of Public Health leads the charge in outbreak and endemic disease modeling, equipping public health professionals with the insights needed to navigate today’s evolving health challenges. Our team develops and deploys rapid-response models to address immediate health threats while creating robust tools for understanding and managing ongoing disease burdens. PHMU’s work empowers decision-makers with practical, data-driven strategies for effective response and prevention, from tracking the spread of new pathogens to analyzing the complex patterns of established diseases.

Using advanced techniques in epidemiology, biostatistics, and computational modeling, our research extends far beyond theory—directly shaping policy and practice on the ground. Through collaborations with global health organizations, government bodies, and academic partners, PHMU helps build comprehensive, resilient responses to infectious disease challenges, safeguarding communities and strengthening public health systems worldwide.

Below are some featured projects that PHMU teams have contributed to.
