IRES: Population Dynamics and Complex Systems: Challenges and Opportunities

该项目为11名年轻的美国人提供了国际研究经验，在数学和传染病和病媒传播疾病的生态学接口进行研究，研究人员在哥伦比亚首屈一指的私立非营利研究型大学安第斯山脉（UNI安第斯山脉）进行跨学科和跨学科研究。学生？这些项目将由对森林群落中南美锥虫病的研究推动，重点是了解南美锥虫病生态流行病学循环的复杂性。cruzi同时赞赏直接从世界专家那里消除这种疾病的挑战，以及拉丁美洲登革热流行病研究模型的开发，以及它们与东南亚的不同之处。这项研究将与热带寄生虫学研究中心（CIMPAT）和安第斯山脉大学的脊椎动物进化生物学实验室（EVOLVERT）合作进行。Juan M.数学和计算生物学研究小组主任Corpendez（Grupo de Investigación en Biología Matemática y Computacional，BIOMAC），within the Departamento de Ingeniería Biomedica，将提供亚利桑那州立大学和UNIANDES之间的联系。对美国人进行关于使用模型研究登革热或恰加斯病等疾病的生态学和传播动力学的培训对美国很重要在全球经济中发挥领导作用。我们的国家？美国的竞争成功模式依赖于我们的公民直接个人参与旅游和贸易等活动，这些活动包括相关的风险和经济机会。该项目为11名年轻的美国人提供国际研究经验，在南美洲哥伦比亚的安第斯山脉大学（UNI安第斯山脉）开展数学与传染病和病媒传播疾病生态学的研究。这项研究将与热带寄生虫学研究中心（CIMPAT）和安第斯山脉大学的脊椎动物进化生物学实验室（EVOLVERT）合作进行。

The project provides international research experiences for 11 young Americans to carry out research at the interface of mathematics and the ecology of infectious and vector borne diseases with a cadre of researchers conducting interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary research at the premier private, nonprofit, research university in Colombia, Universidad de los Andes (UNIANDES). The students? projects will be driven by the study of Chagas in sylvatic communities with focus on learning the complexity of the eco-epidemiological cycle of T. cruzi while appreciating the challenges of eradicating the disease directly from world experts and on the development of models for the study of dengue epidemics in Latin America and how they differ from their counterpart in Southeast Asia. The research will be carried out in collaborations with the Center for the Study of Tropical Parasitology (CIMPAT) and the Vertebrate Evolutionary Biology Lab (EVOLVERT) at The Universidad de los Andes. Professor Juan M. Cordovez, the Director of the Research Group on Mathematical and Computational Biology (Grupo de Investigación en Biología Matemática y Computacional, BIOMAC), within the Departamento de Ingeniería Biomédica, would provide the link between Arizona State University and UNIANDES.Non-Technical Abstract The training of Americans on the use of models in the study of the ecology and transmission dynamics of diseases like Dengue or Chagas is important to the US leadership role in a global economy. Our nation?s model of competitive success counts on the direct personal participation of our citizens in activities such as travel and trade that includes risks and economic opportunities associated. The project provides international research experiences for 11 young Americans to carry out research at the interface of mathematics and the ecology of infectious and vector borne diseases at the Universidad de los Andes (UNIANDES) in Colombia South America. The research will be carried out in collaborations with the Center for the Study of Tropical Parasitology (CIMPAT) and the Vertebrate Evolutionary Biology Lab (EVOLVERT) at the Universidad de los Andes.
