Qlife Quantitative Biology Winter School: Quantitative Viral Dynamics Across Scales
Paris Sciences et Lettres (PSL) University will host a winter school centered around Quantitative Viral Dynamics Across Scales. The school will run for one week (March 21-25, 2022), and aims to “bring thought leaders in dialogue with the next generation of early-career scientists to advance the integrative study of quantitative viral dynamics across scales.” Prof. Weitz will serve as a lecturer and Scientific Committee Chair. Other guest lecturers include Weitz Group research scientist David Demory, postdoctoral fellow Jacopo Marchi, and several group collaborators.
With 25 slots available in the course, applications for attending the school will be accepted until January 7, 2022. Early-career scientists and Ph.D. students are especially encouraged to apply. See the event poster or visit the QLife website for additional details.
Quantitative Biosciences 2021 Hands-On Virtual Workshop: Modeling Epidemics
The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of understanding and modeling the dynamics of disease spread. Computational modeling has proven to be a key tool in our fight against the novel coronavirus, and helping to inform the implementation of public health interventions including physical distancing, mask-wearing, testing/tracing, as well as vaccination. This hands-on workshop, organized by the first-year cohort of Quantitative Biosciences PhD students, Prof. Joshua Weitz, and Prof. J.C. Gumbart, served to introduce scientists of all experience levels to the process of modeling epidemics.
To watch the public talks of this workshop – including a Plenary by Dr. Sarah Cobey, a demonstration by the Applied Bioinformatics Laboratory, and a lecture by Prof. Joshua Weitz – visit the Quantitative Biosciences YouTube channel.
