NCCID's new Mod4PH Research Highlights podcast showcases new and relevant math modelling concepts and research for public health. 

In this episode, we will be speaking to Dr Michael Li, who is a Senior Scientist at the National Microbiology Lab, Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC). Michael currently applies his modelling skill set at PHAC in the development and analysis of disease transmission models of COVID-19, mpox transmission, and other infectious diseases in Canada. 

Today, Michael spoke with us about a fairly gigantic topic - the past, present, and future of infectious disease modelling for public health.

NCCID's new Mod4PH Research Highlights podcast showcases new and relevant mathematical modelling research for public health.

In this episode, we will be speaking to Dr. Gwen Knight.

She is an Associate Professor at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and co-Director of the LSHTM Antimicrobial Resistance Centre. Gwen’s research is focused on mathematical modelling of the interactions between demographic factors and antimicrobial resistance (or AMR), One Health approaches to AMR at the farm level, and the interactions between bacteria and bacteriophage. Gwen spoke with us about her research in modelling antibiotic resistance and the implications of this work for public health.
