 al Health | 51³Ô¹ÏÍø\n\nWHEN: Monday\, February 26\, 2024 from 4 
 to 5 pm\n\nWHERE: Hybrid | 2001 51³Ô¹ÏÍøCollege\, Rm 1140 | Zoom\n\nNote: M
 . Maheu-Giroux will be presenting in-person from 2001 51³Ô¹ÏÍøCollege\, Rm 
 1140\n\nAbstract\n\nTransmission dynamics models provides a framework –int
 egrating epidemiology\, mathematics\, and public health– to understand and
  inform the control of infectious pathogens. This type of mathematical mod
 els enables researchers to investigate the intricate interplay of epidemio
 logical factors\, population dynamics\, and intervention strategies. In th
 is talk\, I will briefly review the fundamentals principles of transmissio
 n dynamics models and highlight key concepts. Then\, I will discuss real-w
 orld applications of models –from SARS-CoV-2 to HIV– that have been used t
 o inform public health. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding 
 of how these models enhance our ability to forecast disease trajectories\,
  assess the impact of interventions\, and ultimately contribute to effecti
 ve disease control and elimination strategies.\n\nLearning Objectives\n\nB
 y the end of this session\, attendees will be able to:\n\n\n	Define what is
  a transmission dynamic model\;\n	Understand their applications in infectio
 us disease epidemiology\;\n	Grasp their strengths and limitations.\n\n\nSpe
 aker Bio\n\nMathieu Maheu-Giroux is an Associate Professor in the Departme
