Biography
Biography
Dr. Najmul Haider is an epidemiologist with over 15 years of research experience in infectious diseases, focusing on regions in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Originally trained as a veterinarian, Dr. Haider has established a career centered on the One Health approach. His doctoral research, conducted at the Technical University of Denmark, explored modeling vector-borne diseases in Scandinavian climates, marking his shift towards mosquito-borne disease studies, especially dengue. He earned his PhD in Epidemiology in 2018.
Since October 1, 2022, Dr. Haider has been working as a Lecturer in Epidemiology at the School of Life Sciences, Keele University. His research currently emphasizes two primary areas: (1) One Health strategies for addressing emerging infectious diseases with pandemic potential in Sub-Saharan Africa (including work in Sierra Leone and the Republic of Congo) on pathogens such as Lassa fever, Chikungunya, and Ebola viruses; and (2) the transmission dynamics of arboviruses, with a particular focus on dengue in Bangladesh. Dr. Haider employs statistical and mathematical models to investigate pathways that interrupt the transmission chain (spillover) of pathogens from animals to humans, as well as the transmission of vector-borne diseases between humans. Dr. Haider’s recent work on dengue has been highlighted in international news media, including The Guardian.
Dr. Haider earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, MSc in Veterinary Theriogenology, and Master of Public Health in Bangladesh. From 2008 to 2014, he contributed to UC CDC-funded research on zoonotic diseases at the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (ICDDR,B), a leading health research organization, where he focused on anthrax and avian influenza A/H5N1. In 2015, he moved to Denmark to pursue his PhD in epidemiology. From 2019 to 2022, Dr. Haider worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Royal Veterinary College in the UK, contributing to One Health research projects through the PANDORA-ID-NET consortium, with a focus on Lassa fever and Chikungunya in Sub-Saharan Africa. With the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, Najmul was able to rapidly apply his epidemiological expertise to support global response efforts. His publication on the impact of lockdown measures on COVID-19 transmission in Sub-Saharan Africa was referenced in several policy papers by the UN, World Bank, and WHO.
