Ms Hyolim Kang

Research Student - MPhil/PhD - Epidemiology & Population Health

United Kingdom

I am a research degree student at LSHTM, and a research fellow at Nagasaki University. My research area is mathematical modeling of infectious diseases, with my current PhD work centered on chikungunya seroprevalence, global burden estimation, and vaccine impact assessment. My work aims to inform vaccine deployment strategies and strengthen preparedness for chikungunya outbreaks at various regional levels.
