Andrew Conlan

Andrew Conlan is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences. His research focuses on epidemiology, infectious disease, transmission dynamics, control, and vaccination. He employs mathematical, statistical, and public engagement methods to enhance understanding of disease transmission and persistence in animal and human populations, with the aim of informing policy decisions for effective control. His work integrates techniques such as mathematical modelling, computational modelling, disease dynamic models, Bayesian statistics, and stochastic models.

Andrew J. K. Conlan is an Associate Professor at the University of Cambridge, specializing in epidemiology and infectious diseases. His research focuses on the dynamics of childhood diseases, persistence of pathogens, and the application of stochastic modelling to understand disease transmission. Conlan's work includes studies on measles, bovine tuberculosis, and norovirus, with an emphasis on mathematical modelling to evaluate public health interventions. He has explored the impact of social mixing patterns, vaccination strategies, and contact tracing on disease control. His research also addresses the role of animal reservoirs in zoonotic diseases, such as SARS-CoV-2 and rabies.
