Welcome to the mathematical modelling program in the Vaccine and Immunisation Research Group, Melbourne School of Population Health, The University of Melbourne and Murdoch Childrens Research Institute.
Our research program was established in 2005 and group members undertake research in the broad area of communicable diseases. We use non-linear dynamical modelling techniques to investigate diverse questions regarding vaccination, distribution of other pharmaceutical interventions and non-pharmaceutical measures to control infectious diseases.
On this site you will find details on our research, staff and publications.
To contact us, please email our group leader, A/Prof. Jodie McVernon.
