SPATIAL EPIDEMIOLOGY AND BIO-INFORMATICS

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become a powerful tool in epidemiology, enabling the connection between geographic locations and disease data. At our Institute, we use R, ArcGIS, and EpiInfo to create disease maps, resource maps, and predicted risk maps. These tools help allocate resources efficiently and develop control measures in advance. Satellite-derived environmental variables like temperature, humidity, and vegetative indices, combined with other meteorological data, are used to predict disease outbreaks up to two months in advance.

Activities

Training on GIS using ArcGIS, R, QGIS
Disease Mapping
GIS Modelling
Risk Map Prediction
Remote Sensing Data Measurements
Grid Creation and Prediction

Bioinformatics plays a key role in molecular epidemiology, allowing us to analyze pathogen profiles and predict outbreaks. Using bioinformatics tools, we can analyze sequences, model proteins, and predict disease evolution, thus enabling early intervention and control.

Bioinformatics Activities

Phylogenetic / Phylogeographic Analysis
Molecular Epidemiology
Homology Modelling
Molecular Docking
Sequence Similarity and Pattern
Gene Prediction
Secondary Structure Prediction
