研究领域

Research in the Perkins Lab applies mathematical, computational, and statistical approaches to better understand the dynamics of infectious disease transmission and control. Ongoing work is focused on dengue, malaria, chikungunya, and other diseases caused by mosquito-borne pathogens. These diseases are particularly interesting because of the complex ecology and epidemiology of the human and natural systems in which their pathogens are transmitted, and because of their critical and growing importance for global health. Some of the major themes of our ongoing research on these diseases include: (1) assessing the feasibility of targeted control and statistical limitations thereof; (2) developing and applying novel algorithms for inferring malaria transmission networks based jointly on epidemiological and parasite genetic data; and (3) using models to inform the design, analysis, and extrapolation of results from clinical trials of novel interventions.
