PUBH 611 Modeling and Genomics for Outbreaks and Epidemics
This elective explores the integration of infectious disease modeling and genomic epidemiology into public health policy and practice. The course emphasizes the transformative role of these tools in understanding and managing infectious disease outbreaks. Students will build foundational knowledge of transmission dynamics, modeling, and genomic analysis while critically examining their strengths, limitations, and ethical implications. Through practical applications and collaborative projects, students will develop actionable insights to inform public health strategies, communicate findings to diverse audiences, and design equitable responses to infectious threats.
