networks in disease ecology

network epidemiology, network physics, disease ecology, outbreak analysis

We are a research group at the Department of Molecular Medicine of the University of Padova in Italy. We combine complex-system physics, heavy computation and epidemiology to study the drivers of pathogens' spread in human and animal populations.
