This $270,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program funds a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship to investigate how host immunity shapes the evolution of pathogen virulence. The research aims to improve understanding of how pathogens rapidly evolve, including through changes in virulence, and how this process is influenced by interactions with the host immune system. The project will use mathematical models and laboratory experiments...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $365,556 supports collaborative research between mathematicians, biologists, and engineers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to develop new mathematical tools and biological experiments essential to understanding virus spread and extinction. Funded through the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the research will establish an integrated experimental-mathematical framework to study how spatial structure affects viral evolution...
