Background & Goals

The Epidemiology Research Unit at NeTroDisOH is grounded in a commitment to unraveling the intricacies of disease dynamics and population health. Established within the larger framework of our research institution, the Epidemiology Unit plays a pivotal role in bridging the gap between scientific inquiry and public health impact. Foundational Principles: Our unit operates under the foundational principles of evidence-based research, methodological rigor, and a dedication to translating epidemiological insights into actionable strategies. With a focus on understanding disease patterns, risk factors, and transmission dynamics, we aim to contribute valuable knowledge that informs public health policies and interventions. Expertise: Comprising a team of skilled epidemiologists, biostatisticians, and public health researchers, the Epidemiology Research Unit brings a diverse range of expertise to the study of health and disease. Our researchers leverage advanced statistical methods, data analytics, and field investigations to generate robust evidence that addresses pressing health challenges. Strategic Disease Focus: The unit strategically directs its efforts towards the epidemiological study of a spectrum of infectious diseases, with a particular emphasis on those that pose significant threats to public health. From vector-borne diseases to emerging viral threats, our research spans a broad array of epidemiological inquiries, contributing to the global understanding of disease patterns and dynamics. Collaborative Approach: Collaboration lies at the heart of our endeavors. We actively collaborate with other research units within NeTroDisOH, fostering a multidisciplinary approach that synergizes the expertise of parasitologists, bacteriologists, and epidemiologists. This collaborative ethos extends beyond our institution to partnerships with national and international organizations, ensuring a comprehensive and global perspective in our research. Impact on Global Health: The Epidemiology Research Unit is driven by a vision to contribute to improved global health outcomes. By conducting impactful research, participating in disease surveillance, and actively engaging in the development of evidence-based interventions, our unit seeks to make tangible contributions to the broader field of epidemiology and public health. As we delve into the complexities of disease transmission and population health, the Epidemiology Research Unit remains steadfast in its commitment to generating knowledge that empowers communities, influences public health policies, and ultimately advances the collective goal of achieving better health worldwide.
