Workshop on "Introduction to Mathematical Models of the Epidemiology & Control of Infectious Diseases"

The Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, in collaboration with Imperial College London, is offering a workshop on “Introduction to Mathematical Models of the Epidemiology & Control of Infectious Diseases” in October 2022.

Overview

Understanding infectious disease epidemiology and control can be greatly enhanced using mathematical modelling. With infectious diseases – including COVID-19 – dominating news headlines, professionals across many sectors increasingly need to understand the underlying principles of transmission of infectious diseases and their control.

This workshop provides an intensive introduction to these underlying principles, with the material taught in an accessible way that does not require a detailed mathematical background. This will allow professionals from a range of backgrounds to gain a solid grounding in the basics of infectious disease modelling and its applications, as well as gain practical experience in the process of developing models. This will enable participants to critically evaluate outputs from models as well as to apply these principles to problems encountered in their work.
