Overview

 The mission of the innovation group is two-fold:

• To develop cross-disciplinary means of discovery of the biological, clinical, environmental, and social causes of the spread of infectious diseases via computational modeling of pathogens and hosts.

• To engage present and future scientists and policy makers in dialogue on the interdependence of science and policy in efforts to control infectious diseases.

 This group is supported by an award from the Office of Research of the Ohio State University
