Profile

Research expertise

Les recherches du Dr Ogden portent sur l’évaluation des risques en étudiant l’écologie, l’épidémiologie et la diversité génétique des vecteurs et des micro-organismes zoonotiques et à transmission vectorielle, l’évaluation des impacts des changements climatiques sur les zoonoses et les maladies à transmission vectorielle, et la création d’outils pour l’adaptation de la santé publique.

En tant que directeur de la division des sciences des risques pour la santé publique à l'Agence de la santé publique du Canada, il dirige des programmes sur l’évaluation des risques de maladies infectieuses basée sur des modèles, l’analyse épidémiologique avancée, la géomatique de la santé publique, l’épidémiologie moléculaire et la synthèse des connaissances. Les domaines d’intérêt comprennent les zoonoses, les maladies à transmission vectorielle, les maladies d’origine alimentaire et les effets des changements climatiques.
