Research Programme
We are building the tools to predict, prepare for, and mitigate the next pandemic—considering both the virus and the economy.
Research Areas
Our research spans five implementing countries, combining epidemiological rigour with economic insight to support evidence-based pandemic response.
Epidemiological Modelling
Using historical data to validate models and forward-looking scenarios to prepare for the unknown — including Disease X simulations.
Economic Modelling
Moving beyond simple GDP estimates to understand household-level impacts and long-term economic scarring from health emergencies.
Integration Framework
Combining epidemiological and economic models into a unified framework that captures the full trade-off between lives and livelihoods.
Disease X Scenarios
Simulating hypothetical outbreak dynamics and mitigation strategies for novel pathogens to future-proof Africa's preparedness.
Capacity Strengthening
Training the next generation of African modellers in integrated epi-econ methods and building sustainable local expertise.
Evidence to Policy
Translating complex modelling outputs into actionable policy briefs that decision-makers in five countries can act upon.
