Short Introduction
Infectious diseases are responsible for substantial morbidity and mortality and continue to be of great concern. Viruses are among the most common causes of infectious diseases. To ensure better control of viral infections, I have been tackling the issue as a medical doctor, molecular biologist, informatician, epidemiologist, and public health officer. Building on the experience, I would like to integrate clinical medicine, theoretical modelling, evolutionary biology, genetics, and molecular biology to gain a better understanding of viral diseases. Connecting various approaches to each other can deepen the analyses and, therefore, lead to innovative findings. The results obtained through one approach can be applied to another approach, and new findings can then be applied back to the original approach or to further different approaches. In this way, we could gain a more comprehensive understanding of viral diseases. These findings would make a contribution to place where outbreak/epidemic/pandemic exists.
