Our organizational diversity reinforces the interdisciplinary nature of our work and fosters a culture of collaboration and knowledge sharing across sectors that traditionally operate independently.

Epistorm geographical representation grants us access to a wealth of unique perspectives, skills, and regional insights, critical for the modeling and prediction of infectious diseases that do not respect state or regional boundaries. In addition, our consortium is a balanced mix of academic research centers, government laboratories, and private for-profit partners. The consortium has also secured a vital network of public health collaborators, ensuring that our innovations are tested at the frontline of infectious disease outbreaks. This broad-based and inclusive consortium allows us to engage with a wide range of data and tackle questions concerning diverse populations. This capacity amplifies our ability to cater effectively to the unique needs of various communities and regions nationwide.
