Research Centre PandemiX Center

PandemiX brings together in one organization a diverse team of experts with four core competencies: mathematical modelling of infectious diseases, historical epidemiology, clinical research, and bioinformatics.

The goal of PandemiX is to build a comprehensive understanding of the forces that shape pandemic trajectories from origin to endgame, as we describe and quantify the signature features of pandemics present and past.

We have organized our research plan into six intertwined research programmes. Together, these programmes will address all aspects of the entire pandemic cycle. All six programmes require two or more of our listed core competencies. The program teams will collaborate extensively.

On X (the former Twitter), you can read our comments on and answers to the many questions that are about COVID-19 and the Corona pandemic.

You can also follow the research at the Center of Excellence. The profile is edited by the researchers at PandemiX Center.

There were speeches, jazz music and high spirits when Roskilde University's new Center of Excellence PandemiX opened last Friday. Professor Lone Simonsen will head the new center, which the Danish National Research Foundation has invested DKK 47 million in.

Superspreading is known to have played an important role in the transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2. In this Comment in Nature Communications, PandemiX researchers discuss how knowledge of the extent and cause of superspreading is important for designing appropriate control measures for emerging infectious diseases.

The PandemiX Center participates in a number of research projects, which are both internally and externally funded, just as the center's researchers participate in projects in collaboration with other research institutions in Denmark and abroad.
