Dr Trish Campbell is an infectious diseases modeller with a background in mathematics. Trish has developed models across a diverse range of diseases, including COVID-19, pertussis, respiratory syncytial virus, scabies and group A Streptococcus. Trish’s predominant research interests centre around using modelling to inform infectious disease control policies, particularly in disadvantaged populations and settings with limited information available for model development, with a current focus on scabies and soil-transmitted helminths. Since March 2020, Trish has been a member of a multidisciplinary team modelling the anticipated clinical requirements of potential COVID-19 outbreaks in Australia and Pacific Island countries.
