Top SchoolSimon Dellicour is a F.R.S.-FNRS Research Associate and head of the Spatial Epidemiology Lab at the Université libre de Bruxelles, with visiting professorship at KU Leuven and an academic footprint spanning Oxford and Liège. Over 11+ years he has developed and applied quantitative methods at the interface of phylogeography, spatial epidemiology, and landscape genetics to trace viral lineage movements and assess environmental drivers of pathogen spread. His work blends methodological innovation—particularly in landscape phylogeography—with practical epidemic intervention modeling and conservation genetics applications. Simon leads a multidisciplinary team that couples molecular data with spatial/environmental layers to uncover drivers of dispersal dynamics, informing public health and biodiversity decisions. Notably, his profile reflects sustained cross-institutional collaboration and a commitment to translating complex phylogenetic analyses into actionable insights for epidemic response.
