​​Opportunities and challenges of sero-epidemiology for understanding pathogen dynamics​

Green slide with LSHTM Event in white text

Over the past years, high throughput multiplexed serological assays have become available, allowing simultaneous quantification of antibody responses against 100s and even 1000s of antigens, from a single sample. These novel technologies offer unprecedented opportunities to study the dynamics of multiple pathogens simultaneously, reconstruct susceptibility profiles of populations and inform control interventions. In this talk, Isabel Rodriguez-Barraquer will discuss some of the challenges and opportunities in seroepidemiology.​
