  • Parliamentary Inquiry
    February 9, 2004 Science and Technology Committee House of Commons 7 Millbank London SW1P 3JA UNITED KINGDOM Dear Dr Gibson and Members of the Science and Technology Committee: On behalf of the Public Library of Science, I am pleased to submit the following written evidence to the Science and Technology Committee's inquiry into scientific publication practices. I congratulate you and your colleagues for your initiative and leadership in pursuing this timely and important inquiry. The Public Library of Science (PLoS) is a grassroots, world-wide, not-for-profit organization of scientists, physicians, and members of the public working to make the world's scientific and medical literature a freely available resource, easily accessible to anyone, anywhere, with an Internet connection through open, online public libraries. The deepening crisis in scientific publishing as journal prices continue to escalate will restrict comprehensive access to the scientific literature to a dwindling elite at a handful of wealthy research institutions in the advanced economies. While action to reduce subscription costs would be welcome, it will ultimately be necessary for the scientific community to abandon the unstable, outdated, restrictive and fundamentally anti- competitive fee-for-access publication system. Only when we transition to an open access system - in which publishers are paid a fair price for the services they provide to the scientific community, and all reports become immediately freely available online - will we have a sustainable and equitable system for publishing science that serves the interests of the public, the public institutions that support scientific research, and scientists themselves. My colleagues and I at PLoS have been advocating for open access for over five years.

  • Final Program
    Final Program The SIAM Conference on the Life Sciences is sponsored by the SIAM Activity Group on Life Sciences (SIAG/LS) The SIAM Activity Group on the Life Sciences was established to foster the application of mathematics to the life sciences and research in mathematics that leads to new methods and techniques useful in the life sciences. The life sciences have become quantitative as new technologies facilitate collection and analysis of vast amounts of data ranging from complete genomic sequences of organisms to satellite imagery of forest landscapes on continental scales. Computers enable the study of complex models of biological processes. The activity group brings together researchers who seek to develop and apply mathematical and computational methods in all areas of the life sciences. It provides a forum that cuts across disciplines to catalyze mathematical research relevant to the life sciences and rapid diffusion of advances in mathematical and computational methods.

Following a very positive review of our progress by the MRC in late 2013, the Centre’s funding was renewed for a further 5 years. The continuing relevance of the MRC Centre’s mission was then underlined by events last year. Within a month of our 5th anniversary we were implemented. I would like to take the opportunity to approached by the Saudi Arabian government to recognise the huge commitment of time and effort assist them in risk analysis and modelling of the made by the researchers involved – an effort more newly resurgent outbreak of Middle East respiratory motivated by everyone’s desire to do something to syndrome (MERS) occurring in that country in spring help rather than the usual academic drive to publish 2014.

  • Statistical Mechanics of Viral-Immune Co-Evolution
    Préparée à l’École Normale Supérieure Statistical mechanics of viral-immune co-evolution Soutenue par Composition du jury : Jacopo Marchi Olivier, Martin Le 23/09/2020 INRAE Président du jury Martin, Weigt UPMC Rapporteur Ecole doctorale n° 564 Joshua, Weitz Physique en Île-de-France Georgia Institute of Technology Examinateur Aleksandra, Walczak École Normale Supérieure Directrice de thèse Spécialité Physique Thierry, Mora École Normale Supérieure Directeur de thèse ABSTRACT Evolution constrains organism diversity through natural selection. Here we build theoretical models to study the effect of evolutionary constraints on two natural systems at different scales: viral-immune coevolution and protein evolution. First we study how immune systems constrain the evolutionary path of viruses which constantly try to escape immune memory updates. We start by studying numerically a minimal agent based model with a few simple ingredients governing the microscopic interactions between viruses and im- mune systems in an abstract framework. These ingredients couple processes at different scales — immune response, epidemiology, evolution — that all together determine the evolutionary outcome. We find that the population of immune systems drives viruses to a set of interesting evolutionary patterns, which can also be observed in nature. We map these evolutionary strate- gies onto model parameters. Then we study a coarse-grained theoretical model for the evolution of viruses and immune receptors in antigenic space consisting of a system of coupled stochastic differential equations, inspired by the previous agent-based simulations. This study sheds light on the in- terplay between the different scales constituting this phylodynamic system. We obtain some analytical insights into how immune systems constrain viral evolution in antigenic space while viruses manage to sustain a steady state escape dynamics.

However, the effort required to push a disease to elimination may come at a high cost at a time when uncertainty is high. Models currently inform policy discussions on this question, but there are a number of open challenges, particularly given unknown aspects of the pathogen biology, the effectiveness and feasibility of interventions, and the intersecting political, economic, sociological and behavioural complexities for a novel pathogen. In this overview, we detail how models might identify directions for better leveraging or expanding the scope of data available, for bounding the theoretical context of emergence relative to prospects for elimination, and for framing the larger economic, behavioural and social context.
