- This $133,182 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports the development of new point-process algorithms for modeling infectious disease threats over varying temporal and spatial scales. Specifically, the funding will be used to derive expectation maximization algorithms to infer probabilistic transmission networks for contact tracing and outbreak source detection. Multivariate Hawkes processes will be formulated to...
This Project Grant award, totaling $410,000 and provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), aims to develop novel phylodynamic approaches to reconstruct heterogeneous infectious disease transmission dynamics from pathogen genomic data. The research project, led by the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), seeks to address limitations in current phylodynamic methods by creating scalable and epidemiologically interpretable techniques to analyze large-scale pathogen sequence data and disentangle complex transmission patterns across different populations and demographic groups. The overarching goal is to leverage pathogen genomics to better illuminate differential disease burdens and account for transmission heterogeneities when modeling and forecasting infectious disease outbreaks.
