Algorithms for Computational Genetic Epidemiology
The most intriguing problems in genetics epidemiology are to predict genetic disease susceptibility and to associate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with diseases. In such these studies, it is necessary to resolve the ambiguities in genetic data. The primary obstacle for ambiguity resolution is that the physical methods for separating two haplotypes from an individual genotype (phasing) ...
متن کاملComputational applications to hospital epidemiology
Healthcare associated infections are a considerable burden to the health care system. The affected patients have their prognosis worsened and demand more resources from hospitals. Furthermore, the bacteria causing these infections are becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics while also becoming more deadly and contagious. Contributing with knowledge for stopping these infections is, there...
متن کاملAn Interaction-Based Approach to Computational Epidemiology
Epidemiology is the study of patterns of health in a population and the factors that contribute to these patterns. Computational Epidemiology is the development and use of computer models to understand the spatio-temporal diffusion of disease through populations. An important factor that greatly influences an outbreak of an infectious disease is the structure of the interaction network across w...
متن کاملComputational Epidemiology Modeling the Human Equation
The Prediction Challenge As Armin Mikler, director of the Computational Epidemiology Research Laboratory at the University of North Texas, explains it, the science of epidemiology sprang from the human desire to predict the future. Ever since 19th century doctor John Snow traced a deadly outbreak of cholera to certain London water wells, scientists have attempted to track human behavior to fore...
متن کاملMathematical and Computational Foundations of Infectious Disease Epidemiology
As recent pandemics, such as the Zika and Ebola outbreaks have shown, diseases spread very fast in today’s interconnected world, making public health an important research area. Some of the basic questions are: How can an outbreak be contained before it becomes an epidemic, and what disease surveillance strategies should be implemented? These are challenging problems at the interface of dynamic...
