Welcome to AGMID

"I simply wish that, in a matter which so closely concerns the wellbeing of the human race, no decision shall be made without all the knowledge which a little analysis and calculation can provide."   (Daniel Bernoulli, 1760)

The Aberdeen Group for the Mathematics of Infectious Diseases (AGMID) involves members of the  Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics  (IPAM) and the  School of Medical Sciences . Following Bernouilli's quote, we develop and apply mathematical methods to describe the transmission and risk of infectious diseases. Our research has a marked interdisciplinary character which uses mathematical modelling, statistics, machine learning, quantitative risk assessment and molecular epidemiology as core disciplines.
