The board of Wageningen University & Research has appointed Prof. Dr. Quirine ten Bosch as professor of Infectious Disease Epidemiology (IDE). She will succeed Mart de Jong, who will retire. Ten Bosch’ appointment will be effective from September 2024.
Infectious diseases continue to have a huge impact on human and animal health. Controlling them is a multifaceted challenge. Only by working together, it is possible to tackle these emerging threats effectively. According to Ten Bosch, epidemiological modelling plays an important role in bringing together knowledge and data to develop effective response strategies. She looks forward to contribute to a better embedding of modelling in decision-making around outbreaks.
The chair group Infectious Disease Epidemiology (IDE) is the successor of Quantitative Veterinary Epidemiology (QVE). The group focuses on the control of infectious diseases in populations of livestock, wildlife, and humans.
