Mr. Gruhn's research specializes in health economic aspects of vaccinations and infectious diseases, with emphasis on modeling disease transmission and evaluating cost-effectiveness of interventions. His work integrates theoretical modeling approaches with analysis of routine health insurance data to inform public health decision-making. He has developed expertise in decision-analytical modeling for health technology assessment, particularly examining the impact of disutilities on cost-benefit analyses as demonstrated in his master's thesis on cancer screening programs.
His research contributes to Bielefeld University's 'Changing World' strategic research area, which examines complex societal dynamics and institutions under conditions of uncertainty. Mr. Gruhn's work exemplifies the university's 'Transcending Boundaries' principle through interdisciplinary integration of economic analysis with practical public health applications.
