Welcome

The SpatialEpiLab is a "One Health" medical geography research group at the University of Queensland, Australia, comprised of postgrad and undergrad students, postdocs and visitors, headed by Dr. Ricardo Soares Magalhães.

Research at the SpatialEpiLab lies at the interface between animal and human public health and aims to inform disease control policy through a better understanding of the major determinants in the geographical distribution of animal and human infections and associated morbidity.

Each year our research is published in high impact peer reviewed journals in the international literature. Most of the maps and tools derived from our research are available to other researchers and disease control programme managers. Please visit our download area to access predictive maps and other research output. 

​We welcome visitors to our lab, especially for our monthly lab chat.​ 
Spatial Epidemiology Lab is primarily situated within the School of Veterinary Sciences at the University of Queensland, Australia with collaborators, students and visiting scientists at UQ Child Health Research Centre and at UQ School of Public Health.
