Our work in this area spans collaborations with molecular biologists, ecologists, and epidemiologists. We develop mathematical models and software to fit models to data generated in the lab and predict how gene-edited mosquitoes could be expected to perform in the wild. As the technology develops, considerations regarding ecological modeling, field trial design, and implications for disease transmission are becoming increasingly relevant. We are seeking a project scientist with particular strengths in mathematical modeling of infectious diseases and scientific programming, and interests in mosquito-borne diseases, gene-editing technology, and/or public health interventions.
