The TeamThe goals of The Institute for Disease Modeling (IDM) Product Discovery & Development (PDD) Team are to model the upstream process from early-stage discovery to product development, while simultaneously connecting to downstream epidemiologic models, to better inform the key elements that influence a product's potential public health value. PDD modeling efforts connect divergent scales of biological and epidemiological function through multi-scale modeling. Through rigorous methodological development and application and in close partnership with program strategy teams, PDD enables greater learning, hypothesis testing, and ultimately decision making to achieve the goals of the Gates Foundation.
