Training Workshop on Mathematical Biology: 24–27 November 2025
About the workshop:
The Mathematical Biology group at the AIMS Ghana Research Center invites you to an upcoming Training Workshop featuring experts in mathematical and computational modelling of developmental biology, immunology and epidemiology. The training workshop will provide an introduction to the use of mathematical and computational modelling in biology, and is aimed at graduate students and early career researchers in biology, the life sciences, and mathematics. Participants will be introduced to practical skills in formulating, analysing, and interpreting mathematical models in biological systems, through a combination of lectures, computer-based sessions, and interactive discussions led by experts in mathematical modelling, epidemiology, and computational biology. The biological focus will be on modelling in epidemiology and immunology, but the skills and approaches covered are applicable more widely.
