Dr. Alexandra Hogan

Biography

Alexandra Hogan is a Senior Lecturer at the University of New South Wales, specializing in mathematical epidemiology. She focuses on the development of mathematical models for infectious diseases to assess the public health impact of new vaccines. Currently, her research aims to create dynamic models that inform the long-term planning of ongoing COVID-19 vaccination programs in Australia and the broader region. Her work accounts for various factors, including booster doses, the properties and availability of current vaccines, the emergence of variants of concern, and seasonality. Hogan strives to guide country-level COVID-19 vaccine programs, ensuring that they align with national immunization health system priorities. She also models the transmission of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and its vaccination, contributing to target product profiles for RSV vaccines. Previously, she estimated the public health impact of the RTS,S/AS01 malaria vaccine to support World Health Organization decision-making regarding the use of malaria vaccines for children. Hogan is a member of the World Health Organization Immunization Vaccines Related Implementation Research Advisory Committee (IVIR-AC). She has also held a Research Fellowship at the MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis at Imperial College London and is an Honorary Lecturer at the institution.
