“Dynamics of Acute Epidemic Disease: From Measles and Influenza to Coronavirus”

Coronavirus, influenza and other infectious diseases will be the focus of the online talk, “Dynamics of Acute Epidemic Disease: From Measles and Influenza to Coronavirus,” presented by Princeton epidemiologists and PEI associated faculty members Jessica Metcalf and Bryan Grenfell at noon Monday, April 13, via Zoom. This event is part of the Biophysics Seminar Series hosted by Princeton’s Center for the Physics of Biological Function, a National Science Foundation-funded Physics Frontiers Center.

The speakers — who are affiliated with PEI’s Climate Change and Infectious Disease initiative — will discuss the spread and control of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic against the backdrop of the dynamics of acute immunizing infections. Metcalf is an assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology and public affairs; Grenfell is Princeton’s Kathryn Briger and Sarah Fenton Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and Public Affairs.
