Using networks to understand disease spread


Using networks to understand disease spread, a talk by Dr Jess Enright (University of Glasgow)

Abstract

Networks that describe connections between people can help us understand how infectious diseases spread through a population or around the world.  I’ll talk about several different examples of how we use networks in disease modelling, and how and why the properties of the networks that spread a disease are important.  This talk will use examples from various epidemics and settings, and aims to be accessible to a general audience.

 

This talk will be given remotely, via Zoom.  If you wish to register for attendance at this West Midlands branch talk, please contact Gemma Reeves who will provide the required details.

No charge is made to attend meetings. Non-IMA members are welcome.
