The Institute for Modeling, Collaboration, and Innovation continues to grow. The decision has been made to merge IMCI and IICS under one institute—IMCI! This has brought new members to IMCI with previously unavailable expertise, skills, and resources now under our umbrella. New features such as anNSF Biology Integration Institute (EMBER), NSF Focused EPSCoR Collaboration (INSPIRE), and other public and private…

Join us this coming Monday when Ginny Lane will lead, with Brenda Murdoch, a discussion about new and ongoing research in chronic disease. Opportunities for depth and breadth in understanding chronic disease Brenda Murdoch and Ginny Lane will share some current research related to diabetes and opportunities for interdisciplinary research in the area of chronic disease development.
Coffee, community, grassrooting. These are some of the things that brings IMCI together. At the heart of IMCI is the “Collaboratorium”. Faculty, students, and postdocs working in both modeling and empirical areas meet with postdoctoral scientists who devote full-time efforts to collaborative modeling. Our goal is to bring together the brightest minds across disciplines to…

Session led by Tanya Miura Our initial project on the CMCI COBRE award was designed to identify parameters that determine disease outcomes during respiratory viral coinfection in a mouse model. Through this work we identified multiple virus pairs that resulted in reduced disease severity upon coinfection, which depends upon the viral doses and order of…
The primary objective of this discussion is to present findings on how residency, exposure history, and risk perception influence Idahoans’ protective behaviors toward wildfire smoke, as modeled using structural equation modeling (SEM) to link psychometric constructs with observed behaviors. We will also seek feedback on our proposed future study, which will employ threshold and regression models to…
Bring a lunch and come join the crew as Chenangnon Tovissode presents a mock job talk. His topic is “From Genes to Epidemics: Integrating Machine Learning and Mechanistic Models“. In this presentation, Chenangnon will explore two complementary approaches to investigating causal mechanisms in biological and social systems. The first part focuses on uncovering causal pathways from…
Faced with a lethal stress, microbial populations must either evolve genetic resistance or die, right? For Methylobacterium extorquens, lethal levels of the toxic metabolic intermediate formaldehyde can select for mutants beneficial in this environment, but we have also found that they can survive via epigenetic inheritance. This occurs at much higher rates and can be passed…
