# Lauren Ancel Meyers **Domain:** Austin Research / People **Doc Type:** Research entity **Source basis:** Supplied research cluster with linked references; see the [[wiki/Austin Research Evidence Map|evidence map]] for verification scope. **Lauren Ancel Meyers** is an Oden-affiliated mathematical biologist working on network epidemiology, surveillance, forecasting, and intervention. She is a central link between the Austin computational-science ecosystem and public-health decision support. She appears with [[wiki/Suzanne Barber|Suzanne Barber]] and [[wiki/Andy Ellington|Andy Ellington]] on the [[wiki/Surety BioEvent App|Surety BioEvent App]]. UT’s 2018 report documents her group evaluating hundreds of potential influenza data streams with [[wiki/Texas Advanced Computing Center|TACC]] resources and supplying resulting methods to [[wiki/Defense Threat Reduction Agency|DTRA]]’s [[wiki/Biosurveillance Ecosystem|Biosurveillance Ecosystem]]. This provides a named research-to-system transfer. The broader corpus follows disease modeling into intervention choices, including treatment and population-level effects. The comparison with threat-network analysis concerns partial observation, relationships, prediction, and intervention; epidemic and adversarial networks retain different causal mechanisms. ## Connected entries [[wiki/Oden Institute|Oden Institute]] · [[wiki/Surety BioEvent App|Surety BioEvent App]] · [[wiki/Biosurveillance Ecosystem|Biosurveillance Ecosystem]] · [[wiki/Texas Advanced Computing Center|Texas Advanced Computing Center]] · [[wiki/Epidemiological and Threat Network Analysis|Epidemiological and Threat Network Analysis]] · [[wiki/Medical Countermeasures|Medical Countermeasures]] · [[wiki/Andy Ellington|Andy Ellington]] · [[wiki/Defense Threat Reduction Agency|Defense Threat Reduction Agency]] · [[wiki/Google Flu Trends|Google Flu Trends]] · [[wiki/Suzanne Barber|Suzanne Barber]] ## Sources and corpus context - [[research/The Austin Executable Loop|The Austin Executable Loop — master document]] - [[research/Oden Institute - Machine Learning, Medicine, and Terrorism|Oden Institute - Machine Learning, Medicine, and Terrorism]] - [[research/Oden Institute - The Austin Succession Stack|Oden Institute - The Austin Succession Stack]] - [Prof. Suzanne Barber Awarded DTRA Grant for Work on Surety BioEvent App](https://ece.utexas.edu/news/prof-suzanne-barber-awarded-dtra-grant-work-surety-bioevent-app) - [Flu Season Forecasts Could Be More Accurate with Access to Health Care Companies’ Data](https://news.utexas.edu/2018/09/19/this-data-source-could-enable-better-flu-forecasts/) - [Lauren Ancel Meyers — Oden Institute](https://www.oden.utexas.edu/people/directory/Lauren%20Meyers/) - [Lauren Meyers — Applied Mathematics Group](https://amg.oden.utexas.edu/members/lauren-meyers/) - [Modeling a Global Pandemic — Lauren Ancel Meyers](https://oden.utexas.edu/news-and-events/news/Modeling-Global-Pandemic-Profile-Lauren-Ancel-Meyers/) **Cluster:** [[wiki/Austin Executable Loop|Austin Executable Loop]] · [[wiki/Austin Research Evidence Map|Austin Research Evidence Map]]
