Dr Marie-Claude Boily Senior Lecturer in Infectious Diseases Ecology

Dr Boily’s research interests focus on the use of empirical and mathematical modelling studies to measure and evaluate preventive intervention for infectious diseases. Her projects aim to better understand STI and HIV/AIDS transmission and assess the impact of interventions. It also involves the innovative use of mathematical models to validate and improve study design and analysis of epidemiological or clinical trial studies before they are implemented in the field. She and her collaborators have been awarded a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to design an Measure and Evaluation framework that combines dynamical models and carefully collected serial biological and behavioural data to estimate the impact of HIV/AIDS AVAHAN intervention. Her interests also include studies on sexual networks and structural measures of networks, determinant of change in sexual behaviour, particularly in the context of an HIV/AIDS epidemic. |
