This summer school invites the local research community to explore the dynamic field of mathematical epidemiology and related areas in mathematical biology. The program features a series of focused mini-courses on mathematical and statistical methods, with connections to clinical practice and policy-making. Participants will also enjoy a diverse lineup of research talks by both faculty and students.

Title: Spatial disease transmission and metapopulation modeling
- Hagai Katriel, Braude College
Title: From SIR to stochastic discrete-time age-of-infection epidemic models
- Eyal Leshem, Director of the Center for Travel Medicine and Tropical Diseases, Sheba Medical Center
