DiNeMo project named Eureka finalist!

Our Disease Networks and Mobility project (DiNeMo) has been named as finalist for the UNSW Eureka Prize for Excellence in Interdisciplinary Scientific Research. DiNeMo is a real-time surveillance system for human infectious diseases, such as dengue. By combining expertise, data and methods from epidemiology, transport engineering, biosecurity and data science, DiNeMo enables hospitals and biosecurity agencies to predict when and where a disease outbreak is likely to occur, enabling efficient diagnosis and treatment.
