Ecology’s Pej Rohani and CEID colleagues are helping to develop computational models for forecasting the spread of influenza, which annually causes half a million deaths worldwide.
Alpha Forna, a postdoc in the Drake and Rohani labs, developed a system that uses machine learning to predict how a seasonal flu virus is expected to evolve—with nearly 73% accuracy.
CEID Director John Drake is part of a UGA/Penn State team receiving a grant from the Gates Foundation to restore progress toward measles elimination lost during the pandemic.
