Ecology, Evolution, and Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases Research Program
The Center for Ecology, Evolution, and Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases (E3ID) at the University of Utah was established as an interdisciplinary campus hub to bring together infectious disease researchers across the University of Utah. The E3ID encompasses expertise in basic science such as ecology, evolution, mathematical biology, social science, and computer science as well as applied disciplines including epidemiology, public health, environmental engineering, and medicine. Our mission is to integrate research across disciplines in order to advance scientific knowledge and provide information to decision makers to improve our ability to respond to infectious disease outbreaks.
Our center is led by Director Dr. Karim Khader and Co-Director Dr. Lindsay Keegan. Our interdisciplinary center draws from 7 departments across both the health sciences and academic campuses fostering the cross-campus collaborations supporting the 1U Vision.
E3ID Seminar Series
E3ID is hosting a monthly Seminar Series to highlight the interdisciplinary nature of work in this field. The Seminars will occur on the third (3rd) Friday of each month and will feature researchers from across the University of Utah campus working in the field of “Ecology, Evolution, and Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases”. If you are interested in presenting your research please email one of the Program Co-Directors.
R0 Group
R0 is a student focused group meeting for infectious disease epidemiology, dynamics, and modeling. We welcome undergraduate, graduate, post-doctoral, and faculty researchers from all training backgrounds to join us to talk about ongoing research, recent publications, and news articles regarding infectious disease modeling. For information about how to join the weekly meetings, please email Lindsay Keegan.
