Kathy Leung

Currently I am an Assistant Professor at HKU School of Public Health. My research interest focuses on mathematical modeling of a wide range of diseases such as influenza, MERS, COVID-19, hand-foot-and-mouth disease, HPV, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer and breast cancer. I also conduct epidemiological and economic evaluations of intervention strategies against communicable and non-communicable diseases, such as HFMD vaccination and cancer screening programs. I am one of the core developers of HKU's first Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) Epidemics.  I am also a co-investigator of Program 1 of the Laboratory of Data Discovery for Health (D²4H) at the Hong Kong Science Park.
