Dr. Clara Champagne

Clara Champagne is an infectious disease modeller with a background in applied mathematics, statistics and public health.

She works in the Analytics and Intervention Modelling group to provide country specific modelling support for decision making on malaria interventions.

Her recent work includes P. vivax modelling with applications in Central America and South-East Asia, vector control modelling of new-generation insecticidal nets, the use of a model with human movement for bednet prioritisation in Haiti and optimisation models for community health workers geographical placement. She has also participated in the modelling work supporting malaria control programmes within the HBHI initiative.
