Genomic Epidemiology

The Research Group for Genomic Epidemiology conducts targeted research with the aim of predicting and preventing infectious diseases in humans and animals, as well as supporting global detection and control with a special emphasis on antimicrobial resistance.

The primary task is to conduct targeted research with the aim of predicting and preventing infectious diseases in humans and supporting global detection and control – with a special emphasis on antimicrobial resistance and food borne infections.

The research on infectious diseases is concentrated around determining and predicting:

  • where (sampling)
  • what (analytic methods, genomics)
  • when and how (modelling)
  • why (microbial ecology, modelling)
