[Computational-biology] Summer Graduate Program in Infectious Disease Modeling

[Catherine Crawley]

Graduate students from the mathematical and life sciences, public 
health, and related fields are encouraged to apply to the 2016 Graduate 
Summer School on Mathematical Modeling of Infectious Disease Spread, to 
be held from June 13-22, at the Mathematical Biosciences Institute in 
Columbus, Ohio.

The 10-day program is co-sponsored by the Mathematical Biosciences 
Institute (MBI, Ohio State), the National Institute for Mathematical and 
Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS, Tennessee –Knoxville), the Fields 
Institute (Toronto), the Centre for Disease Modelling (CDM, York 
University), the Centre for Applied Mathematics in Bioscience and 
Medicine (CAMBAM), and the Atlantic Association for Research in the 
Mathematical Sciences (AARMS). The National Science Foundation (DMS/NSF) 
and the Society for Mathematical Biology (SMB) have provided additional 
support.

This year's focus is "Mathematical Modeling of Infectious Disease 
Spread." The summer school will provide students with broad high-level 
training in mathematical biology that is unattainable at most 
institutions. The course involves group projects and presentations.

*Dates:* June 13-22, 2016

*Location: *Mathematical Biosciences Institute in Columbus, Ohio.

*Application Deadline:* Applications for acceptance to the school 
received before January 31, 2016 will receive full consideration.

/There is no tuition charged to summer school participants. Financial 
support for local expenses may be available, depending upon availability 
of funds./
