Contributor to WP4
Christl Donnelly
Christl Donnelly is Professor of Applied Statistics at the University of Oxford and Professor of Statistical Epidemiology at Imperial College London. Her research programme brings together and develops statistical and biomathematical methods to analyse epidemiological patterns of infectious diseases (most recently COVID-19). Her research programme aims to improve our understanding of (and ability to predict) the effect of interventions on infectious agent transmission dynamics and population structure. She also has interests in ecology, conservation and animal welfare.
What is your role/relationship in the project?
What excites you about the project?
What are your fears related to the project?
- I will contribute to WP4, including co-supervision of post-doc with Benjamin Roche and Vladimir Grosbois.

- Demonstrate the power of epidemiology to gain insight into a new (to me) multi-species transmission system.
What excites you about the project?
- Working with Eve again and to gain new collaborators
- Learning about a new international setting
- Capacity building in statistics and epidemiology
- Informing disease control
What are your fears related to the project?
- Not clear when and how we will be able to travel
