As part of the IMI Special Year on Mathematical Biology (August 2010-July 2011), IMSc Chennai in association with the IISc Mathematics Initiative and the DST Centre for Mathematical Biology, will be hosting a workshop, followed by a national conference, focused on the modeling of infectious diseases.

 

The workshop aims at providing hands-on training to researchers from different quantitative sciences in the modeling of several aspects of infectious diseases:

  • Genomics & evolutionary biology of pathogens,
  • Systems biology of host-pathogen interactions, and,
  • Epidemiology: data analysis and mathematical modeling.

 

The national conference following the workshop will bring together biologists, clinicians and public health specialists working on infectious diseases with scientists from a modeling background, with the aim of fostering cross-disciplinary interactions and long-term collaborations. Contributed talks by participants are encouraged and will be selected from abstracts submitted at the time of application for the conference.

 

The events are being jointly organized by

  • The Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai
  • DST Centre for Mathematical Biology, Bangalore
  • IISc Mathematics Initiative (IMI), Bangalore.
