Joseph Hilton

I am a Research Fellow based in the Manchester Centre for Health Economics (MCHE). I have previously been affiliated with the Institute of Infection, Veterinary and Ecological Sciences at the University of Liverpool as well as the The Zeeman Institute for Systems Biology & Infectious Disease Epidemiology Research at the University of Warwick.

As a mathematical modeller, I use a combination of maths, statistics, and computing to answer questions relating to human health, with a particular interest in health economics and infectious disease epidemiology. The dynamics of human health are driven by a combination of biological processes at the cellular and mollecular level, and social/ecological processes at the level of human and non-human animals, and so demand an interdisciplinary approach to science. My research has two main goals: to develop mathematical methods which can be used by professionals in both academia and public health policy, and to better understand the real-world dynamics of human health with a view to mitigating their impact through scientifically-informed policy choices.
