Toon Braeye - Epidemiology

Author Information

Toon Braeye is an epidemiologist specializing in the epidemiology of infectious diseases. He is affiliated with Sciensano, located at Juliette Wytsmanstraat 14, Brussels, 1050, Belgium. His work encompasses extensive research on various aspects of infectious diseases, particularly focusing on COVID-19 and other communicable diseases.

Research Contributions

Toon Braeye has made significant contributions to the field of epidemiology, particularly in understanding the dynamics of COVID-19 through contact tracing data, vaccine effectiveness, and onward transmission. His research includes studies on the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines against different variants of concern, the performance of contact tracing systems in Belgium, and the serial intervals of SARS-CoV-2 variants. Additionally, he has explored the incidence and risk factors of vaccine breakthrough infections and has provided short-term forecasts of hospital capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic. His work is characterized by a data-driven approach to inform public health decisions and disease prevention strategies.
