Description and Themes

The main objective of the conference is the design of robust methodologies for modeling the in-host dynamics and epidemiology of some emerging and re-emerging diseases of public health interest such as Cancer, HIV, Influenza, SARS and Tuberculosis. The conference will focus on the following general themes:

(1) Reviews of various mathematical modeling paradigms (such as deterministic, discrete, stochastic, network and spatial modeling);

(2) Modeling vaccination strategies against vaccine-preventable diseases;

(3) Modeling therapeutic strategies;

(4) Using modeling in public health policy;

(5) Mathematical, computational and statistical challenges in modeling disease dynamics.
