ch Group Leader\, Department of Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine\
, Heidelberg University Hospital\, Heidelberg\, Germany\nResearch Fellow\,
South African Centre for Epidemiological Modelling and Analysis\, Stellen
bosch University\, Stellenbosch\, South Africa\n\nDr. Florian Marx is a ph
ysician-scientist\, infectious disease epidemiologist\, and mathematical m
odeler at the Department of Infectious Disease and Tropical Medicine\, Hei
delberg University Hospital. He is an Emmy Noether Research Group Leader f
unded by the German Research Foundation (DFG)\, with a focus on modeling\,
impact assessment\, and health-economic evaluation to inform global strat
egies against tuberculosis (TB) and other infectious diseases. With over a
decade of experience\, his work integrates epidemiological research with
mathematical modeling and health-economic analysis to assess the effective
ness and cost-effectiveness of novel diagnostics and other interventions\,
particularly in high-risk populations and settings. His current research
includes a 6-year project funded by the DFG aimed at identifying strategie
s for optimizing outcomes of routine TB treatment using causal inference a
nd mathematical modeling\, and a project using modeling to estimate the po
pulation-level impact of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s R&D and d
elivery portfolio for TB in South Africa. He is also co-investigator and l
ead for the health-economic component of the TSwaY study\, a multi-country
implementation study funded by the Gates Foundation aimed at evaluating t
ongue swab-based testing for TB.\n\nThis Seminar is presented by the Bioi
nformatics\, Modeling & Biostatistics Core\n\nJoin via Zoom: New link for 2024-2025\nTopic: TRAC S
