DESCRIPTION:Dr. Tanja Stadler (ETHZ)\nEpidemiological processes leave a fi
 ngerprint in the pattern of genetic structure of pathogen populations. I p
 resent a unified framework to infer these epidemiological processes direct
 ly from pathogen sequence data. The framework is based on phylogenetic ana
 lysis using common epidemiological models\, such as SIR models. Our method
  is flexible as it allows for epidemic dynamics changing through time\, or
  for heterogeneous host and pathogen populations. The method is intended a
 s a powerful alternative to the commonly used coalescent skyline plot\, as
  it overcomes the limitations of the coalescent approaches. Finally I disc
 uss novel insights into the HIV-1 epidemic revealed by our method. The new
  methodology is available within the BEAST v2.0 software package.
