Anticipating Emerging and Re-emerging Outbreaks

Project AERO is an NIH-funded collaboration that seeks to develop new data science tools for predicting emerging infectious diseases before they become a crisis.

Project AERO is based on the theory of critical slowing down, which holds that dynamical systems on the verge of a critical transition exhibit certain universal properties. We believe these properties might be harnessed to develop early warnings systems for disease emergence.
