IRES: Population Dynamics and Complex Systems: Challenges and Opportunities

该项目为11名年轻的美国人提供国际研究经验，让他们在哥伦比亚主要的私立非营利性研究型大学洛斯安第斯大学（UNIANDES）与一群研究人员进行跨学科和跨学科的研究，开展传染病和病媒传播疾病的数学和生态学的交叉研究。的学生吗?推动这些项目的将是对森林社区的恰加斯病的研究，重点是了解克氏锥虫生态流行病学周期的复杂性，同时认识到直接从世界专家那里根除这种疾病的挑战，以及为研究拉丁美洲的登革热流行病及其与东南亚同类疾病的不同之处制定模型。这项研究将与洛斯安第斯大学的热带寄生虫学研究中心（CIMPAT）和脊椎动物进化生物学实验室（EVOLVERT）合作进行。Ingeniería生物化学研究所内的数学和计算生物学研究小组（Investigación en Biología Matemática计算小组）主任Juan M. Cordovez教授将在亚利桑那州立大学和unandes之间提供联系。培训美国人在研究登革热或南美锥虫病等疾病的生态学和传播动力学中使用模型，对美国在全球经济中的领导作用很重要。我们的国家吗?美国的竞争成功模式依赖于我们的公民个人直接参与旅行和贸易等活动，这些活动包括风险和相关的经济机会。该项目为11名年轻的美国人提供国际研究经验，使他们能够在南美洲哥伦比亚的洛斯安第斯大学（安第斯大学）进行传染病和病媒传播疾病的数学与生态学结合的研究。这项研究将与洛斯安第斯大学的热带寄生虫学研究中心（CIMPAT）和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.
