Forschungsschwerpunkte

Our work in recent years focused on epidemiology, data science, and modeling of infectious diseases. It combines approaches from epidemiology, biostatistics, bioinformatics, evolutionary biology, and mathematical modeling. These methods were applied in close collaboration with other (clinical, theoretical, and wet-lab) research groups to questions ranging from understanding and curbing the transmission of (viral) infections to modeling the pathogenesis of and immune responses to infections. Our current work focuses on:

  • Using transmission networks for assessing and guiding prevention efforts in HIV.
  • Studying the viral genetic determinants of pathogenesis, immune responses, and comorbidities in HIV-infected individuals.
  • Integration of routinely collected clinical data into cohort studies.
  • Studying the transmission of antimicrobial resistance
  • Antiretroviral resistance in resource-limited settings
