Título: Mathematical, Computational, and Theoretical Epidemiology: Challenges and Opportunities

Resumen: The marriage of mathematics and epidemics has a distinguished history with a plethora of successes that go back to the work of Daniel Bernoulli (1700 – 1782), Nobel Laureate and physician Sir Ronald Ross (1911), and associates. Physicians established the field of mathematical epidemiology in their attempts to diminish health disparities, the consequences of poverty and the lack of access to health services, at levels of organization that went beyond the treatment and care of individual patients. The last four decades have seen continuous advances in the fields of computational, mathematical and theoretical epidemiology and immunology with emphasis in connections to public health policy. It is therefore not surprising to see the growth of computational challenges and opportunities in response to demands generated by the study disease dynamics over multiple time scales and levels of organization. In this lecture, I will revisit some of the history of the field and discuss recent applications involving the research of collaborators and former students. The lecture will be directed to a general audience, that I hope will include mathematical scientist, biologists and researchers interested in the health sciences.

17:00-18:00 hs. Clausura de la semana de matemáticas
