| Harvard Medical School |
|
This research group will focus on developing space-time models to detect emerging outbreaks before they spread to most parts of the area under surveillance. The team will model the natural temporal and geographical variation in different types of electronic health system infectious disease data. |
| Harvard School of Public Health |
|
This research group will develop methodological approaches for the planning and analysis of new infectious diseases. The goal of this work is to design tools that will aid in understanding and generalizing the output of computationally complex models of disease transmission. |
| University of Pittsburgh |
|
This research group will develop, test, evaluate, and deploy sophisticated computational models of infectious disease threats. Areas of expertise include infectious diseases, epidemiology, ecology, biostatistics, time series analysis, non-linear dynamics, network theory, and decision theory. |
| Research Triangle Institute |
|
This informatics group includes researchers at IBM, SAS, Duke University, and Emory University who will provide and develop a number of informatics, analytic, and statistical tools in a high performance computational environment. The group also provides programming expertise and data management resources. |
| Virginia Bioinformatics Institute |
|
This research group will design, build, and validate models of disease spread and prediction systems based on individuals’ roles in a social network. Using mathematical and computational methods, the group will explore the effects of human contact patterns in urban areas on disease transmission dynamics and the effectiveness of particular response strategies. |
| University of California, Irvine |
|
This research group will develop computational models to study the molecular basis of viral evolution. |
| University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine |
|
This research group will develop hierarchical models for the spatio-temporal dynamics of infectious disease. |
| Fred Hutchison Cancer Research Center |
|
This research group will create simulation models for the transmission of infectious diseases, whether occurring naturally or resulting from biological attacks, in structured communities. The team will develop methods to find the best intervention strategies when disease control resources may be scarce. |
