CAIMS21: two mini-symposia organized by the CDM

The key idea of the two mini-symposia is to have experts in disease modelling and public health to come together and share their work on COVID19 and other infectious diseases with other researchers and the  public. The minisyposium “Mathematical Modelling of COVID-19 Transmission and Mitigation Strategies: Efforts to End the Pandemic” was organized by Jude D. Kong […]

CDM Professor Jane Heffernan receives a $200000 grant to model immune response to COVID-19 vaccine

Professor Jane Heffernan receives a $200000 grant from the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) for her project on COVID-19 immunity. She will study immune response to COVID-19 vaccine after one and two doses, combining mathematical models and machine learning techniques. This study will include multiple factors related to immunization, such as antibodies, memory cells, […]
