Malaria Modeling at Northwestern

We use dynamical models, statistical models, and data analysis to support decision-making around policies to manage malaria (and COVID-19 in Illinois).

Tracking changes in #SARSCoV2 transmission with an outpatient sentinel surveillance system

This method has fewer operational delays than methods based on hospital data, and may be subject to fewer biases

Thanks especially to Emile Jorgensen at @ChiPublicHealth as well as @IsaacGhinai and Massimo Pacilli, who were interested in new surveillance methods; and Shannon Lightner at @IDPH who made the first data collection happen! What a pleasure working with all of you ❤️

Thank you to all the people that made this exploration possible. We hope that you give it a read! (9/9)

Alongside partners from @ChiPublicHealth and
@IDPH, and led by Reese Richardson with
@PhilAArevalo, Tobias Holden, @KatieMG, @sarahcobey, et al. we tested a novel method for SARS-CoV-2 sentinel surveillance.🧵(1/9)

[Malaria Modeling at Northwestern @nu_modeling]

These findings suggest that a deliberate outpatient sentinel surveillance system, with high testing volume and routine reporting of date of symptom onset, would provide robust early warning of increases in transmission. (8/9)

we will also get to work with the fabulous @CharlesnikaNU! what a win 🥳

[Malaria Modeling at Northwestern @nu_modeling]

Huge congratulations to team member @tobiasmholden for being awarded an F31 research fellowship from NIAID on "Quantifying the potential contribution of asymptomatic screening and treatment to malaria control and elimination" in collaboration with INDIE 🤩

[Malaria Modeling at Northwestern @nu_modeling]

we are super excited to continue working with @Kat_a_Collins @TeunBousema @ChrisDrakeley and Lauren Childs to improve the within-host parts of EMOD and think about the infectious reservoir of malaria!

[Malaria Modeling at Northwestern @nu_modeling]

We are hiring! Looking for someone excited by both math and biology and ready to tackle next-gen model improvements😎
