Predicting the Future of Infectious Disease

Lecture by disease ecologist Dr. Barbara Han. Infectious diseases– especially those with animal origins like Zika and Ebola virus – are on the rise globally. Han will discuss how, with the help of artificial intelligence and machine learning, her team analyzes data on animals, disease, and geography to pinpoint areas at risk of future disease outbreaks. Her approaches have the potential to make disease forecasting a reality, preventing disease and savings lives.
