15th International Workshop on HIV Dynamics and Evolution
This is the yearly meeting on HIV evolution and dynamics.The meeting focuses on bringing together scientists from different disciplines, especially mathematics and biology. The specific aims of the 15th Meeting in the series will be: 1) To facilitate communication of the most recent results relating to HIV dynamics and pathogenesis, HIV evolution and phylogenetics, immune responses, T cell dynamics and viral escape; 2) To provide a forum for debate and discussion of alternative hypotheses in these areas; 3) To integrate new bio-mathematical approaches into research in HIV pathogenesis and vaccine development.

These studies contribute not only to the understanding of the relationships between viruses, but the understanding of selection and viral interplay with the immune system, factors that have bearing on host-pathogen interactions, issues in pathogen forensics and molecular epidemiology and vaccine development.
The rapid advances in understanding the viral basis of HIV pathogenesis that were made in the last few years were due to two significant developments: 1) the availability of reliable assays of plasma viral load and the involvement of bio-mathematicians in developing appropriate quantitative methods for analyzing the data. 2) Similarly, analysis of the rapid evolution of HIV and high level of genetic variation exhibited by viral populations have always been recognized as requiring specialized computational techniques and knowledge. Bio-mathematicians and other individuals with expertise in statistical and computational biology have played a key role in these and later developments.
