SUMMARY:'Use of genetic and serological data in dynamical models of infect
 ious disease' - Dr Henrik Salje\, Pathogen Dynamics Group\, Department of 
 Genetics\, University of Cambridge

DESCRIPTION:We have recently moved our pathogen dynamics group from Instit
 ut Pasteur to the Department of Genetics at the University of Cambridge. I
 n our group\, we work on projects that bring together different data types
  to understand the spread\, maintenance and control of infectious pathogen
 s to answer applied public health questions. In particular\, we work with 
 pathogen genomes\, serological data as well as detailed information on how
  we\, as humans\, behave and interact with each other as transmitters of p
 athogens. I will present two projects that highlight some of the work we a
 re doing in the group. One project will explore how we can use the results
  of age-specific death data to make inferences on underlying fatality and 
 attack rates for SARS-CoV-2 across locations. In the second project\, I wi
 ll demonstrate how we can reconstruct antibody titers from dengue vaccine 
 trials to identify correlates of infection and disease.
