Malaria Modeling at Northwestern

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 @nu_modeling go.nature.com/3VCsiSd

Our article was featured as an Editors' Highlight in Nature Communications! nature.com/collections/jc…

For a summary of our latest paper: healthcommunity.nature.com/posts/two-data…

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) nature.com/articles/s4146…

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)

🎉✨Out in Nature Communications!✨🎉 doi.org/10.1038/s41467… 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)

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

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!

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 🤩

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

✨New pre-print alert! ✨ Alongside partners from @ChiPublicHealth and @IDPH, and led by Reese Richardson with @PhilAArevalo, Tobias Holden, @KatieMG, et al. we tested the viability of a novel method for SARS-CoV-2 sentinel surveillance 🧵(1/8) medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
