We tackle key questions in infectious disease epidemiology with multidisciplinary approaches that iterate between field data collection, data analysis and modeling, and translation to decision makers, all while applying a disease dynamics lens.
Upcoming Event
We are hosting the Swiss Meeting on Infectious Disease Dynamics (SMIDDy 2026) in Geneva on November 5, 2026.
Core Principles
- End-to-end mindset We believe that highly impactful research stems jointly from the identification of thoughtful research questions, targeted data collection, bespoke analytic approaches, and effective discourse with decision makers.
- Varied methodological approaches We use a wide range of tools — descriptive epidemiology, dynamical and statistical modeling, machine learning, mixed methods, rapid analytics — whatever can get the job done.
- Disease dynamics lens We seek to characterize how disease transmission occurs and how it gets reported from ecological, environmental, and socio-behavioral perspectives.
- Diverse and multidisciplinary team We understand that the quality of our research stems from encouraging diversity in our disciplinary academic training and cultural backgrounds.
Come work with us
We are growing our team in Geneva and are looking for motivated people to join us. We are currently seeking post-doctoral fellows and data analysts to work across mpox, hepatitis E and cholera-related research. If you want to tackle big epidemiologic questions and influence policy, get in touch. If you are interested in doing a PhD with us, check out the Institute of Global Health’s Doctoral Program in Global Health.
