Prof. J.Y.T. Mugisha is a Professor of Biomathematics at Department of Mathematics, Makerere University, Uganda. His research and teaching interests revolve around formulation and analysis of models in Mathematical Epidemiology, Mathematical Ecology and promotion of Mathematical Biology and Biomathematics in Africa. He is the founder member of the African Society for Biomathemacis, formed in 2007 in an international conference on Mathematical Biology held at Caddi Ayadd University, Marrakesh, Morocco. With a team of his former supervisor, Professor Livingstone Luboobi, and his former and current doctoral and master students, they have worked in Models for malaria, tuberculosis, schistosimiasis, Onchocerciasis, trypanosomiasis, HIV/AIDS, polio, measles, within-host dynamics, co-infection, vaccination and chemotherapical models.

Their second interest lies in mathematical ecology models where they have analysed fisheries models, prey-predation models and optimization models.
