The Centre for Molecular Epidemiology and Translational Research aims to drive transdisciplinary global health research through high-impact whole systems epidemiological approaches, incorporating molecular and 'omics' technologies into large-scale population and clinical studies.
Strategic Priorities
- To provide a focal point for transdisciplinary research in infection by catalysing collaboration between population health researchers, microbiologists, clinicians, basic scientists and computational biologists
- To support existing and develop new large-scale epidemiological studies which combine sociodemographic, clinical and environmental information with data from molecular and 'omics' technologies
- To undertake research to improve our understanding of the transmission, natural history and progression of infectious diseases by combining epidemiological and 'omic' approaches
- To develop population-health expertise in microbiota studies
- To provide evidence to support the development of interventions against infectious disease using innovative technologies, including those targeted at the most disadvantaged populations
- To act as a training centre for postgraduate, doctoral and postdoctoral researchers in infectious disease epidemiology
