Bobby Reiner

Bobby Reiner is a Professor of Health Metrics Sciences and holds a joint appointment at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) within the University of Washington's School of Medicine. He combines expertise in applied mathematics, statistics, and epidemiology to model infectious disease dynamics. His work focuses on spatio-temporal variation in disease transmission, novel modeling frameworks leveraging individual-level data, and understanding drivers of disease incidence patterns.

Research Interests:

• Drivers of temporal variation in infectious disease incidence
• Geospatial modeling of disease spread
• Methodological innovations in epidemiological analysis
• Public health policy implications of disease burden estimates

Key Publications Trends:

Recent work emphasizes global burden analyses of diarrheal diseases, HIV/AIDS, and tuberculosis, with a focus on high-resolution spatial-temporal modeling. Contributions include quantifying mortality disparities in Africa, evaluating vaccine efficacy in real-world conditions, and mapping SARS-CoV-2 infection dynamics during the pandemic.
