Centre of Research Excellence in Infectious Diseases Modelling to Inform Public Health Policy

传染病是一项全球性挑战，造成巨大的人力和经济代价。数学模型为评估控制感染传播和负担的干预措施可能带来的好处提供了有价值的框架。利用现有的NHMRC支持，我们将扩大建模能力，为澳大利亚和本地区的传染病控制政策提供信息。重点领域包括疫苗可预防的疾病、呼吸道病毒和新出现的病原体，并得到创新方法开发的支持。

Infectious diseases pose a global challenge, with substantial human and economic costs. Mathematical models provide valuable frameworks to assess likely benefits of interventions to control infection spread and burden. Leveraging existing NHMRC support, we will expand modeling capability to inform infectious disease control policy in Australia and our region. Focus areas include vaccine preventable disease, respiratory viruses and emerging pathogens, supported by innovative methods development.
