Julie Simpson

Profile

Professor Julie Simpson is Head of Biostatistics and Director of the Methods and Implementation Support for Clinical and Health (MISCH) research Hub at the University of Melbourne, and a visiting Professor at the University of Oxford. She is the recipient of a NHMRC Investigator Grant Leadership Level 1 (2021-5). Her primary area of research is the bridging of novel statistical and mathematical modelling approaches to inform treatment policy for malaria and she has been an advisor to WHO, Medicines for Malaria Venture and the WorldWide Antimalarial Resistance Network (within the Infectious Diseases Data Observatory (IDDO)) regarding dosing regimens for current and new antimalarial drugs.

Within ACREME MASTER-MAP, Julie will lead the within-host malaria mathematical and statistical modelling in research theme 3 (determining safe and effective antimalarial treatments), and her team of statisticians and applied mathematicians will contribute to the other themes, including the application of machine learning methods to identify serological biomarkers for measuring malaria transmission. She will co-lead the workforce development and training program with CI James Beeson.
