| 3.Summer School on Mathematics of Infectious Diseases |
| Dates | 03 Jun 2013 → 28 Jun 2013 | [ID=474301]  |
| Location | Toronto, 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. |

| 9.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=507444] |
| Location | Fields 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. |

| 11.BIOKDD — 12th International Workshop on Data Mining in Bioinformatics |
| Start date | 11 Aug 2013 | [ID=545965] |
| Location | Chicago, United States |
| Abstract | The goal of this workshop is to encourage KDD researchers to take on the numerous challenges that Bioinformatics offers. This year, the workshop will feature the theme ofBuilding network and predictive models of biological processes and diseases using complex data. This field focuses on the use of computational approaches, especially from data mining and machine learning, and the large amount and variety of biological data being generated. The goal here is to build accurate predictive or descriptive network models of biological processes and diseases. These approaches have revolutionized the new age biology by enabling novel discoveries in basic biology and diseases like cancer and diabetes, as well as the development of therapeutics. |

| 12.ICCB — International Conference on Computational Cell Biology: From the Past to the Future |
| Dates | 14 Aug 2013 → 16 Aug 2013 | [ID=523078] |
| Location | Blacksburg, VA, United States |
| Abstract | Over the last two decades, the traditional reductionist approach to biology has increasingly been displaced by an interdisciplinary systems-level approach which can disentangle the complex biological networks that have previously seemed impenetrable. Computational modeling integrated with experimental results has played and will continue to play a pivotal role in this transition, and we believe it is essential for modern researchers in cell biology to understand, embrace, and develop hybrid computational-experimental strategies. To this end, we are proud to announce the International Conference on Computational Cell Biology: From the Past to the Future at Virginia Tech. This conference has been designed to highlight the interplay between cutting-edge biomathematical approaches and experimental techniques to complex biological problems, identify future directions in the field of computational cell biology, and provide a rare opportunity for young researchers to interact with some leading scientists. |

| 16.Mathematics of Planet Earth 2013 - Pan-Canadian Thematic Program - Mathematical Modeling of Indigenous Population Health |
| Dates | 28 Sep 2013 → 29 Sep 2013 | [ID=507382] |
| Location | BIRS, 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. |
