The Measles Analytics Hub (MAH), is a new initiative designed to enhance the measles modelling ecosystem, improve communication and collaboration between modelers and stakeholders for measles modelling and data analytics and deliver research with policy impact. The Hub is funded by the Gates Foundation as a supplement to VIMC’s existing grant in order to leverage VIMC’s work to coordinate and support policy-relevant analytics and be more inclusive of modelers in low- and middle-income countries.

The secretariat for the Measles Analytics Hub is located within the Vaccine Impact Modelling Consortium (VIMC) based at Imperial’s White City campus in London. The Hub will involve many collaborators around the world.

The Measles Analytics Hub will align with the VIMC’s scope to address global and regional level questions but will also support select sub-regional and high-impact country- facing measles modelling work. Given the synergies between measles and rubella, research on rubella is within scope although not the focus of the Hub.

We warmly invite you to attend the online launch of the Measles Analytics Hub on 27th November at 2pm UK time to find out more about the Hub. Please contact vimc-mah@imperial.ac.uk for further details and the meeting link.

By 2027, our core aims are:

to demonstrate effective engagement of measles modelers in addressing policy and programmatic questions.
to nurture the membership and activities of the Hub, to be diverse and inclusive of modelers in high-burden settings and early career researchers.
to achieve recognition of the Hub as the go-to place internationally for expertise in measles modelling.

If you would like to join us in the Measles Analytics Hub, either as a modeller or as a user of the models please register here.
