Our work
There is a global call to eradicate malaria within our lifetimes.
Many places have never come close to eliminating malaria.
Some places have come close but did not success in maintaining elimination. Other places are still struggling to reduce morbidity and mortality under limited resources. How can modeling help us design effective, efficient strategies for malaria control, elimination, and eradication? |

Our Team
We are looking for great people at all levels with strong quantitative skills and an interest in global health to come work with us! Previous malaria or infectious disease experience a plus but not required. Contact us here to express your interest and speak further with our team.
Why join the team?
Make a difference in the world. Disease kills hundreds of thousands of people every year. Help policy makers figure out how to save lives with a limited budget.
Work on interesting problems that span disciplines. Our models need to capture processes over a huge range of spatial scales and timescales. Whether you're interested in basic science, product development, or global eradication strategy, there's a problem here for you!
Create the culture of science you want to see. Help build a team culture of positive, collaborative science that extends beyond the walls of Northwestern to the broader health policy world.
