Meetings/Workshops on Systems Biology and Computational Biology in Canada

Conference-Service.com offers, as part of our business activities, a directory of upcoming scientific and technical meetings. The calendar is published for the convenience of conference participants and we strive to support conference organisers who need to publish their upcoming events. Although great care is being taken to ensure the correctness of all entries, we cannot accept any liability that may arise from the presence, absence or incorrectness of any particular information on this website. Always check with the meeting organiser before making arrangements to participate in an event!

Meeting organisers can submit meetings free of charge for inclusion into the listing.

1.Mathematics of Planet Earth 2013 - Pan-Canadian Thematic Program - Summer School on Mathematics of Infectious Disease
 Dates 19 May 2013 → 27 May 2013
[ID=507421] Go to top of page
 LocationYork University, Toronto, Canada
 Abstract The summer school school will include lectures on mathematical epidemiology, and one of the most important aspects will be projects for groups of 4.6 students, mixing scientific backgrounds and levels of experience, and focusing on real-world problems around which students develop and analyze models. It will also incorporate several lectures on public-health topics with focus on those relevant to other events of MPE2013 such as global spread, Indigenous populations health, vector-borne diseases and integration of surveillance, statistical data analysis and dynamical modelling and simulations.

2.Summer School on Mathematics of Infectious Diseases
 Dates 03 Jun 2013 → 28 Jun 2013
[ID=474389] Go to top of page
 LocationToronto, Ontario, Canada
 Abstract The summer school school will include lectures on mathematical epidemiology, and one of the most important aspects will be projects for groups of 4?6 students, mixing scientific backgrounds and levels of experience, and focusing on real-world problems around which students develop and analyze models. It will also incorporate several lectures on public-health topics with focus on those relevant to other events of MPE2013 such as global spread, Indigenous populations health, vector-borne diseases and integration of surveillance, statistical data analysis and dynamical modelling and simulations.

The goals of the Summer School are to encourage more developing scientists to become interested in this field and to encourage communication between mathematical modellers and public health scientists and epidemiologists who have been historically unaware of the uses of mathematical modeling.

3.Mathematics of Planet Earth 2013 - Pan-Canadian Thematic Program - Climate Change and the Ecology of Vector-borne Diseases
 Dates 08 Jul 2013 → 12 Jul 2013
[ID=507477] Go to top of page
 LocationFields Institute, CDM, Toronto, Canada
 Abstract Climate change is a significant and emerging threat to public health, and changes the way we must look at protecting vulnerable populations. Infectious diseases, especially vector-borne diseases (VBD) are the ones in which the pathogenic microorganism is transmitted from an infected individual to another by an arthropod or other agent, sometimes with other animals serving as intermediary hosts. According to the WHO, nearly half the world's population is infected by vector-borne diseases, resulting in high morbidity and mortality. Important determinants of VBD transmission include: (i) vector survival and reproduction, (ii) the vector's biting rate, and (iii) the pathogen's incubation rate within the vector organism.

4.Mathematics of Planet Earth 2013 - Pan-Canadian Thematic Program - Biodiversity in a Changing World
 Dates 22 Jul 2013 → 26 Jul 2013
[ID=507749] Go to top of page
 LocationCRM, Cambam, Montréal, Canada
 Abstract Biodiversity describes the manifestations of life through its many forms at the molecular level and across ecosystems. Biodiversity has always been the main topic of study for ecologists and evolutionary biologists since it remains a paradox within a number of theoretical paradigms.

5.Mathematics of Planet Earth 2013 - Pan-Canadian Thematic Program - Mathematical Modeling of Indigenous Population Health
 Dates 28 Sep 2013 → 29 Sep 2013
[ID=507371] Go to top of page
 LocationBIRS, Banff, Canada
 Abstract In Canada, the 2009 influenza H1N1 pandemic disproportionately affected Indigenous populations with severe disease outcomes often necessitating hospitalization and intensive care unit admission. The maintenance of surge capacity for the healthcare was seriously challenged in many several geographic areas, including northern remote communities and First Nation reserves. The reasons for this disproportionate impact are not well understood, but important factors may include the prevalence of pre-disposing health conditions, limited access to healthcare, and environmental and demographic characteristics including the transportation network. Same factors apply to other diseases and hence the inequity issues arise from many other diseases and settings.
