Christl Ann Donnelly CBE FRS FMedSci [4] [5] (born June 1967) is a professor of statistical epidemiology at Imperial College London, the University of Oxford [6] and a Fellow of St Peter's College, Oxford. [7] [8] [2] [9] She serves as associate director of the MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis. [10] In 2022, Donnelly was appointed Head of the Department of Statistics, University of Oxford. [11]
Donnelly was educated at Oberlin College in Ohio, where she was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree,[ when? ] and at Harvard University in Boston, where in 1992 she was awarded Master of Science (MSc) and Doctor of Science (SciD) degrees [12] degrees in biostatistics [1] supervised by Nan Laird and James H. Ware. [3]
Donnelly's research investigates statistical and biomathematical methods to analyse epidemiological patterns of infectious diseases such as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), [13] [14] Influenza A virus subtype H1N1, [15] [16] and Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), [17] Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), the Ebola virus disease, [18] zoonoses and HIV/AIDS. [19] She has interests in ecology, conservation, and animal welfare [8] having worked on bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) [20] and Foot-and-mouth disease [21] in cattle, bovine tuberculosis and policies regarding badger culling in the United Kingdom. [22] [23] [24]
Donnelly was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2016 [1] [4] and a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences (FMedSci) in 2015. [5] She was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2018 New Year Honours. [25]
In 2016 Donnelly won the Suffrage Science award [26] [27] and in 2018 nominated Ruth Keogh at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). [28]
Sir Peter Karel, Baron Piot, is a Belgian-British microbiologist known for his research into Ebola and AIDS.
Sir Roy Malcolm Anderson is a leading international authority on the epidemiology and control of infectious diseases. He is the author, with Robert May, of the most highly cited book in this field, entitled Infectious Diseases of Humans: Dynamics and Control. His early work was on the population ecology of infectious agents before focusing on the epidemiology and control of human infections. His published research includes studies of the major viral, bacterial and parasitic infections of humans, wildlife and livestock. This has included major studies on HIV, SARS, foot and mouth disease, bovine tuberculosis, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), influenza A, antibiotic resistant bacteria, the neglected tropical diseases and most recently COVID-19. Anderson is the author of over 650 peer-reviewed scientific articles with an h-index of 125.
