Dear
listmembers
Please
forward the following advert about the shortcourse “An Introduction to
Infectious Disease Modelling and its Applications” to anyone who may be
interested.
Many
thanks and apologies for any cross-postings!
2 week intensive course on:
"INTRODUCTION
TO INFECTIOUS DISEASE MODELLING AND ITS APPLICATIONS"
organized jointly between the
Venue:
Course dates: 4-15th June 2007
Summary:
Mathematical
modelling is increasingly being applied to interpret and predict the dynamics
and control of infectious diseases. Applications include predicting the impact of
vaccination strategies against infections and determining optimal control
strategies against influenza, HIV, vector-borne diseases and veterinary
problems.
This two week intensive course is intended to
introduce professionals working on infectious diseases in human or animal
populations to this exciting and expanding area. The emphasis will be on
developing a conceptual understanding of the basic methods and on their
practical application, rather than the manipulation of mathematical equations.
Who
should attend:
The course is
designed for individuals interested in expanding their knowledge of the
techniques for analysing and interpreting epidemiological data on infectious
diseases and for predicting the impact of control programmes, including medical
and health professionals, policy makers, veterinary scientists, medical
statisticians and infectious disease researchers.
Specialist mathematical training is not a
prerequisite. However, individuals with degrees in mathematical disciplines
working on some aspect of infectious disease dynamics and/or control, who wish
to learn about the potential of infectious disease modelling will also benefit.
