| The University of Florida conference on Theoretical immunology is organized by the department of mathematics at UF. The conference will be held May 27-29, 2002. The main focus of the conference is on mathematical modeling of the immune system, and more specifically on the generation of immune responses to infection, immune memory, and the diversity of the immune system and various aspects of interactions between different subsets of the immune system, the pathogens, and the host environment. The mathematical methods may involve ordinary and partial differential equations, dynamical systems, game theory, stochastic processes, mathematical statistics, and computer simulations. |
| The official program of the conference is yet to be finalized. The list of principal speakers includes such prominent scientists as Rustom Antia (U.S.A.), Nigel Burroughs (U.K.), Rob De Boer (Netherlands), Alan Perelson (U.S.A.), and Lee Segel (Israel). To provide maximum interactions among the participants, the conference format consists of several (5-6) one-hour lectures and the remaining time is to be distributed equally between contributed talks and informal discussions. If you would like to deliver a contributed talk, please send your title and abstract by e-mail to Sergei S. Pilyugin at pilyugin@math.ufl.edu. The conference proceedings will be published in a separate volume. |
| Pending approval by the NSF, the conference will be financially supported by the Division of Mathematical Sciences of the NSF. In addition, University of Florida and UF Department of Mathematics have already allocated funds to partially support the conference. It is expected that we will be able to reimburse the participants' travel and housing expenses. |
