🚀Join us at Plenary Session 6 of the Infectious Disease Modelling Conference 2024 to explore the pivotal role of modelling in vaccine implementation and decision-making. Assoc. Prof. Sheetal Silal (Sheetal Silal, PhD) will discuss how mathematical models have become indispensable in

Modelling and Simulation Hub, Africa (MASHA). at UCT recently hosted a short course on the Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Disease (MMID) from 12-22 August 2024.

Excited to introduce the 3rd cohort of the Nigeria Malaria Modelling Fellowship! With support from Gates Foundation and in partnership with @nmepnigeria and NCDC, our fellows are diving into hands-on training in infectious disease modelling. #MalariaFreeNigeria

Into a third cohort now, with amazing contingents of policy-facing modellers-in-training across three simultaneously running groups. It has been a lot of hard work, but it has been rewarding to see the small steps and the ensuing progress for our trainees. We will #KeepPushing

A gender-focused approach is key in the fight against #malaria. Looking forward to having this conversation on the sidelines of #UNGA.

NEWS: Former President Jacob Zuma has just told MK Party members attending a mass memorial service in Estcourt in KwaZulu-Natal that the money he used to travel to exile in Eswatini during the fight against partheid was given to him by the late Pravin Gordhan. He later told them

Today, our director Abel Walekhwa made a presentation at Modelling and Simulation Hub, Africa (MASHA). on the different projects that we are working on. We are grateful for the collaboration and mentorship from Modelling and Simulation Hub, Africa (MASHA).. Excited about the amazing team and proactive fellows working on different #Malaria #models

AMMnet plays an essential role in sustaining #malariamodeling capacity by providing a community where members continue to learn from each other. Read here: speakingofmedicine.plos.org/2025/01/14/des…  #capacitystrengthening #appliedanalytics

A blog piece close to our hearts and makes me really proud of our Modelling and Simulation Hub, Africa (MASHA). Malaria Modelling Postgraduate cohort! Thanks to PLOS Global Public Health and @paimadhu for sharing!

Really excited that this piece with Melissa Penny is out! We had a great time reflecting on where applied malaria modeling is today and where we can do better Thanks Nonia Pariente for making it happen and many others including Abdisalan Noor for thoughts journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

Our global, multi-disciplinary team tackles complex public health challenges with innovative solutions tailored to Africa’s needs. Together, we strengthen #SelfRelianceInHealthAnalytics for lasting impact. Learn more 👉🏾 shorturl.at/6tYkA

Today, we are joined online by So Yoon Sim, Technical Officer at the WHO, and Philipp Lambach from the WHO’s Immunization and Vaccines-Related Implementation Research Advisory Committee, to discuss how vaccine impact modelling can be translated into immunization decisions.
