Fateen introducing his talk on “The challenges of modelling contemporary measles dynamics”. Supervised by Matt Keeling & Ed Hill.

Three challenges:
1. Contact matrices
2. Vaccine heterogeneity
3. Data quality and integration

Key takeaways

Challenges
1. Justify the use of contact matrix for current times
2. Accurately model the immunisation landscape
3. Work with the UKHSA to overcome data quality issues

Questions:
1. Effect of a changing demography
2. Implementing localised models
3. Impact of immune amnesia

Fab day at IDDconf 2025 We’ve seen a lot of great talks and just before the poster session and reception, Martin Wolfender from @unibe.ch is telling us about forecasting hospital bed use.

@iddconf.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Jon Read kicking things off at IDDconf 2025 telling us neat things about contact patterns in England during the COVID pandemic.

Day 1 schedule. Reminder: talks are chosen at random from submitted titles using a RNG, and we have a 44% F:M ratio. All posters are accepted.

Screengrab of the IDDconf 2025 schedule. The schedule will get added to IDDconf.org as well for screenreaders. Apologies I cant put it all in the alt text.
