Our Research
Global Health
Our center applies modeling across diverse global contexts to understand and reduce the burden of disease. We analyze outbreaks, endemic threats, and cross-national differences in access to care, with a particular focus on the interface of conflict and health. From evaluating the health impacts of forced displacement to assessing inequities in low- and middle-income countries, we integrate epidemiological, economic, and social data to guide interventions and strengthen health systems worldwide.
Recent Works
RSVpreF Vaccination Cuts Burden Across High-Income Countries
Our multinational modeling study shows that compared with no vaccination, RSVpreF immunization could substantially reduce RSV hospitalizations and deaths among infants and older adults in high-income countries, with the greatest gains from broad and timely uptake.
Displacement from War in Ukraine Will Drive Major Health Losses
We project that compared with pre-war conditions, the 2022 Russian invasion and resulting displacement of Ukrainians will lead to tens of thousands of excess deaths and millions of years of life lost—highlighting the profound health consequences of armed conflict.
Publicly Funded Health Care Is Linked to Longer Lives
Our global analysis shows that countries with publicly funded health care consistently achieve higher life expectancy than those without. The gap is especially stark where weak social conditions combine with poor access to care, highlighting the critical role of universal health coverage in promoting longevity and equity.
