Jörn Martin Gethmann

Dr. Jörn Martin Gethmann serves as a Scientist at the Institute of Epidemiology (IfE) within the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institute (FLI) in Greifswald, Germany, where he holds the designation of Recognised Veterinarian Specialist in Epidemiology (Dr. med. vet.). His institutional affiliation encompasses critical roles in the Epidemiological Advisory Group and specialized working groups focused on Animal Health Economics and Forensics in Wild Boar.

His research centers on epidemiological and economic model analysis of animal disease outbreaks, providing evidence-based decision support for policymakers in disease prevention and control strategies. This work integrates quantitative modeling with veterinary epidemiology, particularly through contributions to the STOC free framework for stochastic disease simulation and the "ScIce" project investigating scrapie in island populations as a global model for prion diseases. His expertise bridges veterinary science, outbreak economics, and wildlife disease forensics to optimize resource allocation during epidemics.

Dr. Gethmann actively collaborates on FLI's research infrastructure including the Shinyserver platform and participates in multi-institutional projects addressing transboundary animal diseases, with emphasis on zoonotic risks and economic impact assessment in agricultural systems.
