Fateen introducing his talk on “The challenges of modelling contemporary measles dynamics”. Supervised by Matt Keeling & Ed Hill.
Three challenges: 1. Contact matrices 2. Vaccine heterogeneity 3. Data quality and integration
Key takeaways Challenges 1. Justify the use of contact matrix for current times 2. Accurately model the immunisation landscape 3. Work with the UKHSA to overcome data quality issues Questions: 1. Effect of a changing demography 2. Implementing localised models 3. Impact of immune amnesia
🧪 Engaging science continued on the second day of IDDconf 2025! @iddconf.bsky.social #IDsky #IDepi
🗣️ Today’s contributions included a talk by PhD student Fateen Yasir on “The challenges of modelling contemporary measles dynamics”
🔗 Fateen’s webpage: warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/math...

Julia Gog telling us what she did during her sabbatical.
We are learning about Hilda Hudson!
Fab day at IDDconf 2025
We’ve seen a lot of great talks and just before the poster session and reception, Martin Wolfender from @unibe.ch is telling us about forecasting hospital bed use.
Jon Read kicking things off at IDDconf 2025 telling us neat things about contact patterns in England during the COVID pandemic.
