Ramanan Laxminarayan’s work deals with the integration of epidemiological models of infectious diseases and drug resistance into the economic analysis of public health problems.

He also is director of the Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics & Policy (www.cddep.org) and an associate research scholar and lecturer at Princeton University.
