FROM METHODS TO APPLICATIONS

Welcome to Ivanek Epi Lab!

We aspire to advance One Health

The overarching goal of our computer lab is to advance One Health — the interconnected health of people, animals, plants, and their shared environment. We strive to improve lives through better health and food systems.

We develop sustainable data- and model-driven approaches for improving food safety, controlling infectious diseases, and optimizing food production systems.

Thanks for visiting our lab website!
