Modelling Infectious Disease Risk in a Changing Climate

London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), 25 - 28 August 2020

This intensive training course will introduce participants to several
tools to access, collate, visualise and analyse environmental,
climatic, health and other ancillary datasets. Participants will learn
how such data can be incorporated into early warning prediction models
to mitigate the impact of infectious disease epidemics. The programme
is formatted in a way that allows people from different disciplines to
understand how environmental and climate data could be coupled with
epidemiological surveillance data sets to estimate disease risk across
time and space using a variety of statistical modelling methods.

The course will be delivered by LSHTM experts working at the interface
of climate prediction science and disease risk forecasting, based
between the Centre for Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases
and the Centre on Climate Change and Planetary Health.

Guest lectures will be given by Dr Diarmid Campbell-Lendrum (WHO),
Prof Sir Andy Haines (LSHTM), Dr Madeleine Thomson (Wellcome Trust),
and Prof Antonio Gasparrini (LSHTM) to expose delegates to
high-impact, topical issues in climate change, planetary health and
state-of-the art methods in epidemiology.

The course is aimed at PhD students, early career researchers, data
managers, public health and environment agency practitioners working
on the impacts of climate on public health.

Course organisers: Rachel Lowe (LSHTM),  Felipe Colon (LSHTM) and
Leonardo Bastos (LSHTM and Fiocruz). For more information and to apply
