DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The annual International Workshop on HIV Dynamics and Evolution gathers people from a wide variety of research areas to explore how viral dynamics and evolution provide insight into the mechanisms that underlie host-pathogen interactions and the emergence, spread, and containment of HIV/AIDS. The meetings address emerging themes in evolutionary biology in order to gain a theoretical understanding and mathematical description of the evolutionary processes that underpin HIV/AIDS. The meeting objectives are to highlight state-of-the-art developments in the field and promote dialog and collaboration across the related disciplines. The rationale for the meeting is that other conferences do not have the same unique focus or multidisciplinary content. Topics covered include the evolutionary history and diversification of retroviruses, advances in and the application of new mathematical algorithms, modeling of the interaction between the virus, the host and its immune response, and infection dynamics and epidemic behavior. Program Committee governance and oversight assures the quality, novelty and consistency of a highly interactive meeting. The selected speakers ensure wide geographical representation, good gender balance, and attendance of young investigators who are developing their reputations in the scientific community and who will invigorate the field. The meeting has enhanced interactions among the attendees to create an active network for theoreticians and experimentalists in order to address fundamental issues and accelerate discovery in HIV/AIDS research. Because of its uniqueness, the meeting can accomplish what other meetings cannot with regard to generating knowledge, creating new consensus, increasing opportunity for collaboration, and opening new areas of evolutionary biology research. The multidisciplinary venue allows trainees and young investigators just starting their career paths to interact closely with internationally recognized experts for mentoring. The annual meeting has grown in scope and significance, fundamentally reshaping the HIV/AIDS research landscape. The 17-year history of the meeting shows feasibility, expertise in the topic, and a track record of working together. To disseminate information and explore this area of scientific research, the specific aims of the meetings are to: facilitate communication of the most recent results relating to HIV dynamics and evolution; provide a forum for debate and discussion of alternative hypotheses in these areas; and integrate new mathematical approaches into pathogenesis research, drug therapy, and vaccine design.

描述(由申请者提供)：一年一度的艾滋病毒动力学和进化国际研讨会聚集了来自广泛研究领域的人们，探讨病毒动力学和进化如何提供对宿主-病原体相互作用以及艾滋病毒/艾滋病的出现、传播和遏制的基础机制的洞察。这些会议讨论了进化生物学中新出现的主题，以便从理论上理解和从数学上描述构成艾滋病毒/艾滋病的基础的进化过程。会议的目标是突出该领域的最新发展，促进相关学科之间的对话与合作。召开会议的理由是，其他会议没有相同的独特重点或多学科内容。涵盖的主题包括逆转录病毒的进化史和多样化、新数学算法的进展和应用、病毒、宿主和其免疫反应之间的相互作用的建模，以及感染动力学和流行行为。计划委员会的管理和监督确保了高度互动的会议的质量、新颖性和一致性。选定的发言者确保了广泛的地域代表性、良好的性别平衡和年轻研究人员的出席，他们正在科学界发展自己的声誉，并将为该领域注入活力。会议加强了与会者之间的互动，为理论家和实验学家建立了一个活跃的网络，以便解决基本问题并加速艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究的发现。由于其独特性，这次会议可以在产生知识、创造新的共识、增加合作机会以及开辟进化生物学研究的新领域方面完成其他会议无法完成的任务。这个多学科的场地让刚刚开始职业生涯的受训者和年轻的调查人员可以与国际公认的专家近距离互动，进行指导。年度会议的范围和意义都有所扩大，从根本上重塑了艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究的格局。会议17年的历史表明了这一主题的可行性、专业知识和共同努力的记录。为了传播信息和探索这一科学研究领域，会议的具体目标是：促进与艾滋病毒动力学和进化有关的最新结果的交流；为这些领域的替代假设提供辩论和讨论的论坛；并将新的数学方法纳入发病机制研究、药物治疗和疫苗设计。
