Infectious Disease Prediction and Prevention
Whether we're fighting a global pandemic or seeking novel ways to reduce tick-borne illnesses, our faculty are experts at predicting and preventing the spread of infectious diseases. Research projects range from the nation’s first COVID-19 Forecasting Hub to international HIV intervention studies; steps to prevent, detect, and mitigate the spread of arboviral diseases, or viruses spread by insects, in community settings; and much more.
