These include:=0A1.  Big Data Analysis to detect outbreaks=0A2.  Spatial modeling and modeling of potential outbreaks to develop emergency response plans=0A3.  Genomic evaluation of suspected disease outbreaks=0A4.  Drug manufacturing and supply modeling=0A5.  Contact tracing and response modeling to evaluate current activities and improve response activities=0A6.  Post-event analysis to prepare for the next epidemic.=0A=0AThough this session will use a fictitious zombie outbreak as the basis for discussion in order to increase interest in the session, the uses described will be applicable to real life outbreaks such as Ebola and H1N1.
