Vaccine stockpile sharing for selfish objectives.

The COVAX program aims to provide global equitable access to life-saving vaccines. Despite calls for increased sharing, vaccine protectionism has limited progress towards vaccine sharing goals. For example, as of April 2022 only ~20% of the population in Africa had received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose.

Disease-dependent interaction policies to support health and economic outcomes during the COVID-19 epidemic.

Lockdowns and stay-at-home orders have partially mitigated the spread of Covid-19. However, en mitigation has come with substantial socioeconomic costs. In this paper, we demonstrate how individualized policies based on disease status can reduce transmission risk while minimizing impacts on economic outcomes.

Disease-dependent interaction policies to support health and economic outcomes during the COVID-19 epidemic.

Lockdowns and stay-at-home orders have partially mitigated the spread of Covid-19. However, the indiscriminate nature of mitigation - applying to all individuals irrespective of disease status - has come with substantial socioeconomic costs. Here, we explore how to leverage the increasing reliability and scale of both molecular and serological tests to balance transmission risks with economic costs involved in responding to Covid-19 epidemics.

Optimizing the Timing and Composition of Therapeutic Phage Cocktails: A Control-Theoretic Approach.

Viruses that infect bacteria, i.e., bacteriophage or 'phage,' are increasingly considered as treatment options for the control and clearance of bacterial infections, particularly as compassionate use therapy for multi-drug-resistant infections.
