Professor Tony Blakely

Professor Tony Blakely is an epidemiologist and public health medicine specialist who led the modelling with colleagues that underpinned the Victorian Government’s RoadMap out of Victoria’s second wave of COVID-19 infections. He is committed to answering questions about which public health interventions will achieve the greatest improvements in health and social outcomes, reduce inequalities in health, and do so cost-effectively. Professor Blakely’s research covers a range of topic areas, intersected with methodological advancements. Whilst principally an epidemiologist, he uses and combines methods from multiple disciplines: biostatistics, economics, econometrics, and computer and data science.

Professor Blakely is Director of the Population Interventions (PI) Unit within the Centre for Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the Melbourne School of Population and Global Health. PI aims to: “provide robust evidence on the health and cost impacts of population interventions, through causal inference and simulation approaches from epidemiology, economics and data science.” PI includes projects using contemporary epidemiological and econometric methods applied to existing data), through to projects using simulation models to estimate the health gains and cost impacts of interventions such as tobacco tax, dietary counselling, etc. He is collaborating with the Institute of Health Metrics and the University of Otago to build next-generation macro-simulation models, that will intersect easily with Global Burden of Disease data to allow multi-country evaluations.

Cutting across all Professor Blakely’s research is a strong focus and interest in epidemiological and quantitative research methodologies. He teaches short courses in advanced epidemiology and simulation modelling, in both Australia and New Zealand. He has co-authored a book on the history of mortality decline in New Zealand, and published approximately 300 peer reviewed journal articles.

Tim kerja ini bertujuan untuk: “memberikan bukti kuat tentang dampak kesehatan dan biaya dari intervensi populasi, melalui pendekatan inferensi kausal dan simulasi dari epidemiologi, ekonomi, dan ilmu data.” Unit ini mencakup proyek yang menggunakan metode epidemiologi dan ekonometrik kontemporer yang diterapkan pada data yang ada, hingga proyek yang menggunakan model simulasi untuk memperkirakan keuntungan kesehatan dan dampak biaya intervensi seperti pajak tembakau, konseling diet, dll. Beliau sedang berkolaborasi dengan Institut Metrik Kesehatan (Institute of Health Metrics) dan University of Otago guna membangun model simulasi makro generasi berikutnya yang akan bersinggungan dengan mudah dengan data Beban Penyakit Global (Global Burden of Disease) untuk memungkinkan evaluasi multi-negara.
