The dynamic interaction between genetically-variable infectious diseases and their host populations represents one of the most complex and intensively-studied phenomena in biology. Spurred by enormous advances in genomics, immunology and information technology, new inter-disciplinary approaches are being forged. This meeting will bring together researchers sharing a common aim – integrating currently unconnected data and models of infectious disease to address issues in human and animal health.
Speakers and Chairs include:
Professor Sebastian Bonhoeffer, Dr Maciej Boni, Dr Larry Brilliant, Professor Dirk Brockmann, Professor Christophe Fraser, Dr Simon Frost, Professor Sunetra Gupta, Professor William Hanage, Professor Dan Haydon, Professor Paul Kellam, Professor Katia Koelle, Dr Philippe Lemey, Professor Sharon Peacock, Dr Oliver Pybus, Professor Andrew Rambaut, Professor Leslie Real, Professor Derek Smith, Professor Marc Suchard, Dr Cecile Viboud
This meeting is followed by a related Satellite meeting at the Kavli Royal Society International Centre entitled Next-generation molecular and evolutionary epidemiology of infectious disease: challenges and opportunities from 16 – 17 May 2012.
