Message from the President desk

Founded in January 1993, the sole purpose of the Indian Association of Epidemiologists (IAE) is to bring state-of-the-art advancement in the field of epidemiology and public health in India. With a strong network of 360+ life members, we are targeting to expand our network all over the country. The association supports career development for budding epidemiologists both at the central and state levels. We organize technical discussions, symposiums, and expert lectures to address various public health issues. IAE jointly publishes the Journal of Communicable Diseases with ISMOD and is launching its official journal, The Epidemiology International. Through in-depth research, basic education, and policy initiatives, we are a driving force in disease surveillance and prevention in India.

Thanking you

Dr. Anil Kumar,(President)

Epidemiology was initially developed to identify the causes of infectious diseases like smallpox, typhoid, and polio. However, this field of science has expanded further and now provides the study of non-communicable diseases like cancer and environmental toxins. Though the studies may not establish direct causation, they provide fruitful insights into risk factors that contribute to disease patterns in populations. The Indian Association of Epidemiologists was founded to support and promote the development of epidemiology through research, education, and community health programs.
