Professor Andrew B. Lawson (Department of Public Health Sciences, College of Medicine,
Medical University of South Carolina) is a World Health Organization (WHO) advisor
on Disease Mapping and organized with
the WHO an International workshop on this topic which has led to an edited volume
"Disease Mapping and Risk Assessment for Public Health". He is a Distinguished University Professor and
has published a number of books focused on disease mapping and
spatial epidemiology. Most recently he was chief editor of the CRC Press Handbook of Spatial Epidemiology (2016).
The 2018 3rd Edition of the volume *Bayesian Disease Mapping* will be a course text for the IBDM course,
