***We are hiring! — See "Join us" for more information.***
Based in Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, China, we are a newly established research group interested in infectious diseases epidemiology and modelling. Our research focuses on the following themes:
- Disease and economic burden of human infectious diseases
- Transmission dynamics and spatial-temporal distribution of human communicable diseases
- Assessment of the impact of pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions on the prevention and control of human infectious diseases
- Development of early-warning and prediction models for human infectious diseases outbreaks and epidemic
