Biostatistician studying infectious diseases, immunity and vaccination.

Understanding infectious diseases through data and models

I am Steven Abrams, a biostatistician and medical statistician with research interests in infectious disease epidemiology, survival analysis, serology, mathematical and statistical modelling, and vaccine research.

At Hasselt University and the University of Antwerp, my work focuses on the development and application of statistical and mathematical methods to better understand infectious disease dynamics, immunity, vaccination, and public health decision-making.

Research

My research combines methodological developments in statistics with applications in infectious disease epidemiology and public health. Current and recent work includes:

  • modelling antibody and serological data;
  • infectious disease transmission and outbreak risk;
  • survival and event-history analysis;
  • individual heterogeneity and frailty modelling;
  • vaccine effectiveness and correlates of protection;
  • quantitative methods for public health decision-making.
