Professor Romain Glèlè Kakaï – Can We Predict the Next Epidemic?

Every day, diseases like cholera and malaria affect millions of people around the world. But what if we could predict how these diseases spread before outbreaks get worse? 

Professor Romain Glèlè Kakaï is a Professor of Biostatistics at the Université d’Abomey-Calavi, where he studies how diseases spread through people, animals, and the environment. His mathematical models help researchers understand outbreaks of diseases like cholera and malaria, and are used by organizations like the World Health Organization and GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance.
