Abstract

During this seminar, Dr Luc Coffeng will give an overview of his work on optimising public health policy against neglected tropical diseases, using mathematical modelling and other quantitative techniques. His presentation will include case studies on different neglected tropical diseases, such as soil-transmitted helminths, onchocerciasis (river blindness), and visceral leishmaniasis.
