UT Austin COVID-19 Modeling Consortium
An interdisciplinary network of researchers and health professionals building models to detect, project, and combat COVID-19
View the latest COVID-19 Projections
The UT COVID-19 Modeling Consortium unites scientists, social scientists, and engineers in developing innovative models that advance the surveillance, forecasting and mitigation of this unprecedented and elusive threat. Led by Professor Lauren Ancel Meyers, the consortium is actively supporting community workers and health professionals on the front line of the fight against COVID-19 and providing decision-support analyses for local, state and national leaders striving to protect the health and well-being of our society.
