People in Ejima lab
Computational science for people's health
Meet the Team
The Ejima Lab is a growing research facility utilizing computational science to advance infectious disease modeling, unraveling the intricacies of disease dynamics within the host.
Principal Investigator
Keisuke Ejima
​
The Ejima lab investigates the biological mechanisms of infection and its effects on individual and population health through mathematical modeling and computer simulations. By bridging individual-level viral dynamics with population-level epidemiology, our research aims to accelerate the development of vaccines, drugs, and treatments while offering insights into the underlying mechanisms of infectious diseases.
Research Associate
Yuqian Wang
Sherry joined the lab as a research assistant after finishing her MSc in epidemiology. Her research interests include disease modelling and global public health.
When she is not working in the lab, she enjoys playing tennis and wandering through a city.
