Description:
Work within the mathematical epidemiology subgroup focuses on critical questions about the emergence, spread, and control of infectious diseases at multiple scales, and to study these questions, we must develop and implement a variety of tools. In this mini-symposium, we feature work across a broad spectrum of infectious disease modeling research and highlight work that members of the SMB Mathematical Epidemiology subgroup have been doing over the past year. This minisymposium will feature work addressing issues in parameter estimation, population heterogeneity, and modeling control efforts, among other important topics, and feature the work of a diverse group of mathematical biologists who are implementing traditional and novel methods to study questions in mathematical epidemiology.
