MILES DAVENPORT

Program Head, Infection Analytics Program, Kirby Institute, University of New South Wales

Miles Davenport leads the Infection Analytics Program at the Kirby Institute at UNSW Sydney. His team of applied mathematicians and evidence specialists incorporate statistical and computational approaches to understand infection and immunity. His research focus is on using meta-analysis and modelling to analyse host-pathogen interactions in infections including SARS-CoV-2, HIV, and malaria. He has a wide variety of clinical and experimental collaborations both within Australia and overseas and his work aims to integrate experimental and clinical data. He is a past-President of the Australasian Society for Immunology, past Section Editor at Journal of Immunology, and Senior Editor at eLife. His seminal work defining the correlates of protection from SARS-CoV-2 infection has helped inform vaccine policy for COVID-19 and understand immunity to viral variants.
