Join us today for this exciting talk by @tylernstarr!
Please join us next week on November 17 for the next occurrence of our E3ID Research Seminar Series. @tylernstarr will be presenting on, "Molecular evolution of SARS-CoV-2 and related bat coronaviruses" from 12:00 - 1:00 PM. Please see the image for full details.
Really great and important work led by @aliciacaitlin8 and @lindsay_keegan!
I'm very excited to share this preprint on the effectiveness of mask mandates in Utah! In no small part because the first author, Alicia Horn, is an undergrad who has been working with me since her freshman year! (She was funded by @uofuour) doi.org/10.1101/2023.11.13.2…

With $18 million from @CDCgov, a @UUtah-led initiative will strengthen the response to infectious disease outbreaks.
The center builds on partnerships between @UofUHealth academics, clinicians, and health departments and health systems in UT, WA, ID, MT healthcare.utah.edu/press-re…

Congratulations to @Utah_IDD graduates @alex_beams and Tess Sheets for successfully defending their PhDs and graduating this spring!
If you're interested in infectious disease modeling and looking to relocate, join @lindsay_keegan here with @Utah_IDD at @UUtah for easy access to these amazing views and experiences.
Great work led by @alex_beams suggesting a more nuanced understanding of 'persistent' and 'intermittent' carriers with organisms such as S. aureus.
New @AmJEpi: @alex_beams and colleagues used mathematical models to show that S. aureus "carrier types" are data artifacts, not reliable signs of underlying heterogeneity @dendroicap @lindsay_keegan @damon_toth @karimskhader @msamore @Utah_IDD ow.ly/p8cn50LK6x9

Today at #TropMed22, @EpiPoopologist from our group will present on modeling impact of antibiotic treatment of moderate #cholera disease on community transmission at 1:15pm in Session 109. Collab w/@andrewazman @lindsay_keegan @SecGTFCC. @UofU3i @ASTMH
Invited commentary by @malia_ailam, @karimskhader and @BranchWestyn highlighting the importance of a national data infrastructure, continued health communication research and enhanced public health infrastructure to improve the impact of vaccination.

Great work presented at #SHEASpring2022 by @brintzbe!
🔥🔥🔥 @brintzbe rocking the #stewie oral presentation. Proving through #VA data that past FQ use associated with future FQ resistance. #SHEASpring2022 @SHEA_Epi
We are seeking postdoctoral researchers to join the University of Utah Infectious Disease Dynamics Group.

Excited to have contributed to this, along with my @Utah_IDD colleagues, including @damon_toth who lead this study.
A new #COVID19 publication from @UUtah researchers! Check it out: High variability in transmission of SARS-CoV-2 within households and implications for control pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3475… @uofuresearch
Recent work from our group, led by @karimskhader including @Vanessa_S91, @lindsay_keegan, @damon_toth, @msamore, @slcrubes, featured at #IDWeek2021
Influential publication by @SLC_IDEAS @Vanessa_S91 @karimskhader featured at #IDWeek2021 Impressive work!
Important and timely research out by @lindsay_keegan , @JustinLessler and @Shaun_Truelove on vaccine effectiveness from Delta variant
New paper with @Shaun_Truelove and @JustinLessler concerning reduced vaccine effectiveness from the Delta Variant.
