Kathryn Glass

Kathryn Glass is Professor at the National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health (NCEPH), Australian National University. Her research focuses on mathematical modelling of infectious diseases to inform public health policy, with expertise in vaccination impact, disease intervention strategies, and pathogen genomics.

Research interests encompass:

• Mathematical epidemiology of respiratory pathogens and foodborne diseases
• Transmission dynamics of emerging infectious diseases
• Cost-effectiveness analyses of public health interventions
• Genomic applications in disease surveillance

Publications demonstrate consistent focus on translating epidemiological models into practical health policy applications across diverse disease contexts including RSV, campylobacteriosis, and African swine fever. Recent work emphasizes genomic approaches to pathogen characterization and economic evaluations of disease burden.

Active in multiple collaborative projects including the Australian Pathogen Genomics Program and international studies on gastroenteritis in Timor-Leste.
