The Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology & Dynamics conducts research on the epidemiology and control of infectious diseases of public health importance. Work is carried out in low-, middle- and high-income countries, including the United Kingdom, in close collaboration with partners in each country. The department has three groups:
- The infectious disease modelling group, which comprises the majority of the Centre for Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases (CMMID), and develops and applies the latest mathematical and statistical modelling methods to understand the dynamics of infectious pathogens to inform their control.
- The UK Public Health Rapid Support Team, a specialist multidisciplinary team across LSHTM and the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) that offers low and middle income countries around the world support to prepare for and respond to disease outbreaks, through field collaboration, research and capacity-strengthening activities.
- The Vaccine Confidence Project, which conducts global research, investigating the roots, trends over time and impacts of vaccine confidence at regional, national and sub-national levels.
The department works closely with the Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology & International Health.
The department heads are Professor Gwenda Hughes and Dr Oliver Brady.
Publications by department staff can be viewed on LSHTM Research Online.
