There are 4 modules in this course
This advanced course builds upon the basic SIR (Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered) model to explore complex aspects of infectious disease modeling. Students learn about stochastic modeling for early-stage epidemics, population structure impacts on disease transmission, and vector-borne disease dynamics using the Ross-McDonald model. The course emphasizes hands-on implementation using R programming and includes critical evaluation of modeling studies. Through practical exercises and peer review assignments, students develop skills in both creating and analyzing sophisticated epidemiological models.
