We work at the interface between mathematics and biological sciences. Developing mathematical models we try to uncover the mechanisms of pathogen population dynamics within and between hosts, with special focus on host and pathogen diversity.

In particular, the interests of our team lie in theoretical and computational frameworks to understand intervention effects in multi-type pathogen communities, and to quantify the conditions for stability of coexistence in microbial ecosystems. More broadly, we study complex systems and data-driven integrative approaches to link processes that occur at different scales.

Our contributions span a wide range of biological systems including African trypanosomes and antigenic variation processes, Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria, Wolbachia-Drosophila-DCV interactions, biological invasion, sepsis, malaria, antimicrobial resistance management, and the kinetics of host immunity.
