Veterinary Epidemiology
Data-driven science for healthy animal populations in sustainable farming
We study how diseases affect animal populations and develop data-driven solutions to improve the health of farm animals. Our work supports veterinarians, policymakers, and society at large.
Our goals:
- Uncovering dynamics of disease in animal populations
- Quantifying disease dynamics under various circumstances and assess the impact of interventions like vaccination and biosecurity measures
- Provide evidence to support decisions that balance animal health, welfare and economic feasibility.
Our team brings together expertise in field data analysis, mechanistic and phylodynamic modeling, veterinary surveillance, economic impact assessment and farm biosecurity. This enables us to tackle major challenges in animal health, and public health.
