Mathemathics and Physics (IMFUFA) participates in a number of different research projects. Among them:
Childhood vaccination programs are often presented as one of the main reasons for the historic decline in infectious disease mortality. However, this subject has mainly been investigated in contemporary settings without the long view needed to gain a complete understanding of disease patterns after decades of vaccine use.
NORDEMICS: Pathogens, Pandemics and the Development of Nordic Societies
This project aimes to create a Nordic interdisciplinary consortium dedicated to understanding how factors such as urbanization, increased trade and travel, large-scale migration, vaccines and other public health interventions, climate change and ecological degradation influence the dynamics of epidemic and pandemic infections in human populations. The consortium will systematically study historical health data to understand the patterns of spread and health impact of such diseases in the Nordic countries over the last 300 years.
IMFUFA contributes to the following research centres:Centre for Frustrated Molecular Interactions (FRUSTMI)
Centre for Mathematical Modeling - Human Health and Disease (COMMAND)

The research group IMFUFA has a highly specialized workshop, where new experimental designs are continuously being developed in close collaboration between scientists and technicians.
At Roskilde University there is an experimental set-up for rolling resistance testing. The set-up was developted and built in the IMFUFA workshop.
