In this episode, we spoke with Dr Jane Heffernan from York University about using mathematical modelling methods for understanding and controlling infectious diseases in individuals (or immunology) and in populations (or epidemiology), and discuss the differences between within-host and population-level modelling.

mod4PH Research Highlights Podcast: Maximizing the impact of limited vaccine supply under different early mpox epidemic conditions
In the first episode, Jesse Knight speaks to NCCID’s Wendy Xie about his recent work on maximizing the impact of limited vaccine supply under different early mpox epidemic conditions using mathematical modelling.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Modelling with an Equity Lens
This fact sheet summarizes some key opportunities and challenges of using disaggregated data to model infectious disease with an equity lens.
Infectious Disease Modelling with an Equity Lens
This fact sheet describes infectious disease modelling with an equity lens. It provides a definition, offers examples of disaggregation, and highlights the characteristics of infectious diseases transmission that can be influenced by population dynamics.
