Jue Tao is an Assistant Professor in the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine at Nanyang Technological University. He is a biostatistician and infectious disease modeller with a long-standing and deep interest in developing new models for infectious disease forecasting, transmission and control. His laboratory is focused on developing novel frameworks to (1) assess interventions in complex, large-scale field trials to stave vector-borne diseases and (2) forecast and project disease burdens over short and long temporal scales. He uses these tools to provide forward guidance on the future epidemiology of diseases and to advise and design disease control implementation and policy. He is primarily focused on studying the transmission dynamics of climate and behaviour-sensitive pathogens.
