Episodes
In this episode of SBIDER Presents we are joined by Alicia GIll. We discuss with Alicia their research looking at particle MCMC methods and its application to Bayesian inference of infectious disease dynamics from epidemiological and genetic data. Have feedback?

Phoebe Asplin discusses recent publications associated with her PhD project, using mathematical models as a tool to explore the extent to which symptom propagation exists and its subsequent impact on infectious disease and health economic modelling assessments.

In this episode of SBIDER Presents we are joined by Daniel Higgins, Josh Looker and Robert Sunnucks. We discuss their work on introducing a framework for intra-host dynamics and mutations modelling of H5N1 influenza infection in humans. Carried out as a group project as part of the Mathematics for Real-World Systems (MathSys) Centre for Doctoral Training MSc course, we also reflect on the group’s project experiences.
We discuss the research article “Bayesian estimation of real-time epidemic growth rates using Gaussian processes: local dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 in England” and methods to get reasonable estimates of the change in rate of infection in small, localised populations.

Prof Xavier Didelot discusses the research article "Estimating the fitness cost and benefit of antimicrobial resistance from pathogen genomic data" and how modelling that uses genomic data can inform the use of antibiotics in a way that mitigates the spread of antimicrobial resistance.

Prof Matt Keeling discusses the research article “Comparison of the 2021 COVID-19 roadmap projections against public health data in England” and the use of mathematical models as part of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dr Bridget Penman discusses the research article “Adaptive immunity selects against malaria blocking mutations”. Applications are now open for a new postdoc position and more in our news section.
Dr Louise Dyson discusses the research article “Possible future waves of SARS-CoV-2 infection generated by variants of concern with a range of characteristics”. Dr Robin Thompson describes the activities of the Royal Society RAMP initiative.
