Description
The Banff International Research Station will host the "Model-Informed Vaccine Development and Quantitative Systems Pharmacology/Toxicology" workshop in Banff from March 15 - 27, 2025.
The vaccine development pipeline is a time, cost and labour-intensive process. Mathematical and computational methods can alleviate challenges related to this intensive process as well as providing further insights into the efficacy and safety of vaccines. These methods are key components of model-informed vaccine development (MIVD) and quantitative systems pharmacology/toxicology (QSP/T). MIVD and QSP/T can be used in tandem to better understand the biological processes and outcomes from vaccination administration, spurring future research. This workshop will strengthen and contribute to the ongoing development of this interdisciplinary community of biologists, mathematicians and vaccinologists.
for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery (BIRS) is a collaborative
Canada-US-Mexico venture that provides an environment for creative
interaction as well as the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and methods
within the Mathematical Sciences, with related disciplines and with
industry. The research station is located at The Banff Centre in
Alberta and is supported by Canada's Natural Science and Engineering
Research Council (NSERC), the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF),
and Alberta's Advanced Education and Technology.
