Geneva Disease Dynamics (Dr Andrew Azman)

The Geneva Disease Dynamics Group addresses central questions in infectious disease epidemiology through multidisciplinary approaches that integrate field data collection, data analysis, and modeling, and translate findings into actionable evidence for decision makers, all through a disease dynamics lens.

We work extensively on outbreak-prone diseases such as cholera, mpox, and hepatitis E, with a primary focus on strengthening our ability to detect infections and link individual observations to population-level dynamics in order to design more effective control strategies.

Our research spans:

- Surveillance system design
- Burden estimation
- Seroepidemiology
- Vaccine effectiveness and impact evaluation
- Field performance of diagnostic tests
- Strategic modeling to understand the potential impact of interventions
