By the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:

Summarize the exchange of post-infection modelling knowledge and methods at BIRS

  • Gain an understanding of key updates and insights related to ongoing post-infection modelling research
  • Explain some common modelling methods to examine post-infection and long term effects of infection, including (but not limited to) COVID19 and measles
  • Describe the value of modelling the spectrum of post-infection effects for public health decision-making
