The history of modelling

Paul is Professor of Communicable Disease Epidemiology at LSHTM. Paul Fine trained originally in veterinary medicine, parasitology and epidemiology, and joined the LSHTM in 1976. He has broad interests in infectious disease epidemiology, with particular emphasis upon vaccines (trials, safety and efficacy evaluations of BCG, measles, pertussis, mumps, polio), mycobacterial diseases (including genetics, immune responses, risk factors, vaccine and drug trials of leprosy and tuberculosis) and family studies (in the broadest sense, including both Mendelian and non-Mendelian inheritance). He has directed a large study of tuberculosis, leprosy and HIV in northern Malawi (the Karonga Prevention Study) since 1979.

This is the fourth seminar in the special seminar series in infectious disease modelling, organised alongside the shortcourse “An Introduction to Infectious Disease Modelling and its Applications”.  It will trace how mathematical modelling of infectious diseases has developed over time.
