Listed are all Telethon Kids Institute research teams involved in our Child Health Analytics Research Program. This program sits under the Brain and Behaviour research theme.
Program Head, Child Health Analytics; Team Lead, Geospatial Health and Development
The Geospatial and Tuberculosis (GeoTB) team led by Kefyalew Alene focuses on designing an innovative approach for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of public health interventions to help control and ultimately eliminate tuberculosis in high-burden countries.
The Infectious Disease Ecology and Modelling team led by Professor Nick Golding, combines mathematical and statistical modelling, ecology, and public health to address malaria and other infectious and vector-borne diseases. The team uses modelling and maps to measure the risk posed by some of the world’s most important and neglected diseases – including malaria, Japanese Encephalitis Virus and Covid-19 – and provide rapid modelling analyses to policy makers.
Our Geospatial Health and Development Team uses cutting-edge technologies to better understand how and why the health and wellbeing of children varies from place to place. We develop innovative geospatial methods that can harness large, complex datasets to pinpoint hotspots of elevated risk, evaluate change through time, and explore underlying drivers.
