Infectious diseases are among the top ten causes of death around the world, and the leading causes of death of children in low-income countries. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted how difficult diseases can be to control even in high-income countries. We have all seen how interdisciplinary approaches that involve mathematical and statistical analysis help support many public health decisions, including the design of control efforts and the development of vaccination priorities. This workshop brings together researchers with diverse mathematical and biological backgrounds to highlight recent progress in modeling epidemics, to foster cross-disciplinary discussions, and to ponder some of the exciting directions the field may take in the future.
This is the second workshop on mathematical ecology to be held at Queen's University. This workshop is funded by the Fields Institute, the Canadian Institute of Ecology and Evolution, the Society for Mathematical Biology, the Canadian Applied and Industrial Mathematics Society and Queen's University.
