Betz Halloran and Ira Longini's Research Group

Statistical and Quantitative Methods for Infectious Diseases and Evaluating Interventions

Our main interest is in quantitative methodologic developments related to scientific and public health aspects of infectious diseases, including epidemiology, evaluating interventions, immunology, and vaccinology.

Our research focuses on prevention and intervention in infectious  diseases of global health importance, as well as emerging infectious diseases, such as pandemic influenza.

The quantitative methods include statistical, epidemiologic, mathematical modeling, computational biology, and bioinformatic methods.

Our group is a research group in the MIDAS Network supported by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences at NIH.  http://www.epimodels.org
