Miles Davenport studied medicine at University of Sydney before completing a D.Phil in immunology at the University of Oxford. Following this he retrained to work in statistical analysis and modelling and founded the Infection Analytics Program at the Kirby Institute at UNSW Sydney. He now leads a team of applied mathematicians applying statistical and computational approaches to understand infection dynamics. His research focus is on using modelling to better understand host-pathogen interactions in infections including SARS-CoV-2, HIV, and malaria. He has a wide variety of clinical and experimental collaborations both within Australia and overseas which aim to integrate experimental data and modelling to better understand infection and immunity. He is a past-President of the Australasian Society for Immunology, past Section Editor at Journal of Immunology, and current Senior Editor at eLife. His seminal work defining the correlates of protection from SARS-CoV-2 infection has helped guide vaccine development and in the understanding of immunity to viral variants.
