About the series: Each spring, CCDD hosts an annual seminar series featuring talks from experts on the latest research in infectious disease epidemiology and modeling. The ID Epi Seminar Series aims to bring in speakers from various disciplines within infectious disease epidemiology, broadly defined to include the population biology of pathogens and other allied topics. Seminars will be held on Thursdays at 1pm ET between February 9th and May 11th with the exception of March 16th (spring break).

This seminar will be presented as hybrid in-person/virtual. The in-person seminar will be located in Kresge G2 at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
