Understanding Infectious Disease Transmission: Insights and Uncertainty πŸ¦ πŸ“Š

Join Professor Christl Donnelly, CBE, FMedSci, FRS for a lecture examining how infectious diseases spread, the role of mathematical modelling, and the uncertainties that shape our understanding of transmission dynamics. The talk will highlight how these insights inform public health responses and policy decisions.

Hosted at the Mathematical Institute, this event is part of Oxford’s public lecture series connecting cutting-edge research with real-world challenges.

What to expect:

  • πŸ“š Exploration of how infectious diseases spread and the role of modelling
  • 🎀 Insights into uncertainty in transmission dynamics and its public health implications
  • 🌍 Discussion of how research informs policy and global health strategies
