Henrik Salje
Regular biography
Henrik Salje is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences and the Department of Genetics. His research focuses on epidemiology, mathematical modelling, infectious diseases, serology, and genetics. He employs mathematical, computational, and field research approaches to study how pathogens spread in populations, evaluate control efforts, and support policy-making. His work includes phylogenetic analyses, Bayesian computation, and multiplex bacterial serology. Salje's research themes align with areas for collaboration in infectious disease dynamics and public health.
Scholar-generated biography
Henrik Salje is a Professor at the University of Cambridge specializing in Infectious Disease Dynamics. His research focuses on understanding the transmission, spread, and impact of infectious diseases through mathematical modeling and data analysis. He has published extensively on topics such as SARS-CoV-2, Zika virus, dengue, chikungunya, and MERS-CoV, examining factors like age-specific mortality, immunity patterns, and the role of social structures in disease dynamics. His work also explores the genetic and epidemiological aspects of viral outbreaks, including the genomic history of cholera and the spatial patterns of disease transmission.
