Modelling to support malaria strategy and portfolio management

This project forms a program of modelling to inform the Gate's Foundation’s malaria product development portfolio, otherwise known as the Integrated Portfolio Management (IPM) project.

Next-generation Malaria Vaccines Stakeholder Engagement Meetings held at ASTMH

At the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH) Annual Meetings in 2024 and 2025, our team convened stakeholder engagement sessions on next-generation malaria vaccines.

Strep A modelling: OpenStrepA

Strep A causes a huge global burden of disease, from sore throats to rheumatic heart disease. Our team is developing a computer simulation model, OpenStrepA, to help researchers tackle this disease.

Global Disease Modelling

We help shape how the world responds to infectious diseases: guiding vaccine and treatment development, and advising on public health measures to control and eliminate disease. Our mathematical models capture how diseases spread, how severe infections are, and how childhood exposure shapes health across a lifetime.

Vaccine Impact Modelling Consortium (VIMC) supporting Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance

In this project, our team provides malaria vaccine impact predictions to inform vaccine investment strategies for Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, and their partners.

Maternal and neonatal outcomes after infection with monkeypox virus clade I during pregnancy in DR Congo: a pooled, prospective cohort study

Monkeypox virus (MPXV) has been linked to vertical transmission, but systematic data are scarce. We aimed to describe the sociodemographic, clinical, and virological characteristics and assess the frequency and determinants of adverse outcomes in pregnant women with MPXV clade I infection. 

Estimating the potential malaria morbidity and mortality avertable by the US President's Malaria Initiative in 2025: a geospatial modelling analysis

Since its inception in 2005, the US President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) has played a major role in the reductions in malaria morbidity and mortality observed across Africa. With the status of PMI funding and operations currently uncertain, we aimed to quantify the impact that a fully functioning PMI would have on malaria cases and deaths in Africa during 2025. 

The growth of rural and remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community laundries: an integrative scoping review

This article documents the establishment of community laundries in rural/remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities between 2000-2024, with the aim to support synergistic planning, implementation and evaluation.
