Marrakesh International Conference and Workshop on Mathematical Biology

本项目的经费将用于支持来自美国的高级演讲者、初级教员和研究生参加马拉喀什数学生物学国际会议和讲习班。本次会议和研讨会的主题包括细胞动力学、数学流行病学、癌症数学建模和数学生态学。本次会议将探索数学生物学领域的新方向，这将在未来几年产生重大影响，并将特别有利于本次会议的年轻参与者。这次研讨会将为美国和非洲科学家之间的未来合作提供一个议程。它将使美国的初级和高级科学家和学生有机会与非洲研究人员合作，开发和应用多尺度建模工具来解决由艾滋病毒/艾滋病、结核病和疟疾以及耐药结核病等疾病引起的巨大健康问题。该奖项由数学科学部和国际科学与工程办公室共同资助。

Funding for this project will support the participation of senior speakers, junior faculty and graduate students from the United States in the Marrakesh International Conference and Workshop on Mathematical Biology. The themes of this conference and workshop include cellular dynamics, mathematical epidemiology, mathematical modeling of cancer, and mathematical ecology. This meeting will explore new directions for the area of mathematical biology that will have significant influence in years to come and will be of particular benefit for the young participants in this conference. The workshop will provide an agenda for future collaborations between US and African scientists. It will expose junior and senior U.S. scientists and students to opportunities for collaboration with African researchers in developing and applying the tools of multi-scale modeling to questions arising from the tremendous health problems caused by such diseases as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, as well as drug-resistant tuberculosis.This award is co-funded by the Division of Mathematical Sciences and the Office of International Science and Engineering.
