The 2023 AUA Academic Workshop on “Delay Differential Equations and Applications to Immunology and Infectious Diseases” was successfully held on November 23-24, 2023, at UAE University.
Below is a brief report from Prof. Fathalla Rihan, Chair of the Organizing Committee.
I am very proud to present to you the outcome and results of the 2023 Academic Workshop on Delay Differential Equations and Applications to Immunology and Infectious Diseases (DDEs-AIIDs 2023), which was held from 23-24 November, at the UAE University (UAE).This event attracted over 120 participants in person, from inside and outside the Asian Universities Alliance (AUA).
The main objective of the DDEs-2023 workshop was to bring together mathematicians and life science scholars at AUA universities, as well as outside of AUA universities, to meet, share, illustrate and discuss mathematical models with delay differential equations and their applications to immunology and infectious diseases.
Indeed, the two days were buzzing with lively discussion and debate – not only during the interactive sessions, but also around the coffee tables! Potential topics included the following:
·DDEs mathematical analysis and biological interpretation.
·Models of host-pathogen interactions
·Models of cancer immune response
·Models of immunological regulation
·Therapy and vaccination models
·Models of multiscale immunoepidemiology
·Optimal control with therapy
·Immune response, signaling pathways, and regulatory networks
The scientific program of the workshop included 50-minute plenary lectures, 30-minute invited lectures and 20-minute contributed talks.These lected papers will be published in the Special Issue "Delay Differential Equations and Applications to Immunology and Infectious Diseases" of "Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering", published by AIMS.
The organizing committee is grateful for the generous support it received for this event. We are grateful for the support of the Department of Mathematical Sciences (UAEU), and the Asian Universities Alliance (AUA) for support and for helping make this workshop possible. I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to all contributors and participants of this event for making it an educational and enjoyable experience.
