With the emergence of the Omicron variant, we speak to Professor Mike Tildseley, an expert on the mathematical modelling of infectious diseases at the University of Warwick. 

How important is mathematical modelling, and what can we expect to see in 2022? 

Professor Tildseley is a member of Scientific Pandemic Influenza Modelling group, SPI-M, which advises the UK government and provides forecasts on the Covid-19 pandemic to help politicians decide what public health measures need to be put in place.
