Mini-symposium on Immunology and Infectious Diseases at BIOMATH2019

该项目将支持早期职业美国研究人员参加题为“免疫学和传染病建模的数学方法”的国际小型研讨会，作为2019年6月在波兰Bedlewo举行的BIOMATH 19会议期间暑期学校的一部分。该会议是一年一度的国际活动，致力于最近的研究突破和生命科学中出现的新数学挑战。早期职业生涯的美国研究人员将接触到生物学，生态学，医学，生物技术，生物工程和环境科学的广泛的国际研究社区。拟议的小型专题讨论会将是BIOMATH 19的一个附属活动，旨在发展复杂动力学、统计学和计算科学方面的专门知识。提出的数学技术具有超越免疫学和传染病的相关性，在化学，神经科学，物理学，社会学，心理学，生物识别学，国土安全和国防中具有多种应用。美国小型研讨会的与会者将与国际同行建立宝贵的联系，包括一个侧重于预防病媒传播疾病的跨学科联盟的成员。小型研讨会将包括由PI向20-30名参与者提供的几次演讲，以及美国早期职业研究人员的简短演讲。该活动的目标是：1）提出最新的数学和统计工具的审查和数学流行病学的新发展，以及2）增加美国研究人员的国际参与，特别是对数学生物学感兴趣的初级教师和博士后研究员。将支持15名美国早期职业参与者。 申请将广泛征求整个数学生物学社区;妇女和代表性不足的群体的成员将特别鼓励申请。 美国与会者还将有机会与欧洲研究人员的跨学科联盟进行互动，重点是通过Moscow纳米技术驱避剂（IMAAC）进行前卫疾病控制的调查数学分析。 BIOMATH 19会议的详细信息可以在网站上找到：https://www.impan.pl/en/activities/banach-center/conferences/19-biomathThis奖反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

This project will support early-career US researchers participating in an international mini-symposium titled "Mathematical Methods in Immunology and Infectious Disease Modeling" to be held as part of the summer school during the BIOMATH19 conference in Bedlewo, Poland in June 2019. The conference is an annual international event devoted to recent research breakthroughs and new mathematical challenges arising in life sciences. Early-career US researchers will be exposed to a broad international research community in biology, ecology, medicine, biotechnology, bioengineering, and environmental science. The proposed mini-symposium will be a satellite event of BIOMATH19 designed to develop expertise at the interface of complex dynamics, statistics, and computational science. The mathematical techniques presented have relevance beyond immunology and infectious diseases, with multiple applications in chemistry, neuroscience, physics, sociology, psychology, biometrics, homeland security and national defense. US mini-symposium attendees will establish valuable contacts with international peers, including members of an interdisciplinary consortium focusing on the prevention of vector borne diseases. The mini-symposium will include several talks delivered by the PIs to 20-30 participants, as well as short presentations by US early-career researchers. The objectives of the activity are to: 1) Present an up-to-date review of mathematical and statistical tools and new developments in mathematical epidemiology, and 2) Increase international participation by US-based researchers, especially junior faculty and post-doctoral fellows interested in mathematical biology. Fifteen early-career, US-based participants will be supported. Applications will be solicited broadly across the mathematical biology community; women and members of underrepresented groups will be particularly encouraged to apply. The US attendees will also have an opportunity to interact with an interdisciplinary consortium of European researchers focusing on the Investigation & Mathematical Analysis of Avant-garde Disease Control via Mosquito Nano-Tech-Repellents (IMAAC).
