The Edinburgh Pandemic Research Forum brings together researchers with a very wide range of expertise and perspective across five major themes. The Edinburgh Pandemic Research Forum (EPRF) brings together a unique network of experts in behavioural and social sciences, with clinical, veterinary and basic sciences to inform a genuinely interdisciplinary, whole-of-society, approach to the study of pandemics.Alongside work on infectious disease epidemiology, genomics, diagnostics, and vaccines, members investigate how how aspects such as behaviour, communication, economics and ethics, shape health responses and outcomes. EPFR aims to integrate research activity across: Health and medicine; Data and technology; Underpinning biology; Wider society; and Social science and humanities.
