Expert joins race to
understand SARS

A MATHEMATICIAN
from Terrace is part of a
unique team involved in
the fight against SARS
and other infectious dis-
eases,

Dr. James Watmough is
one of 14 Canadian and
U.S, experts trying to map
how SARS — Severe Acute
Respiratory Syndrome—
spreads using computer
models so it can be con-
tained,

models of the virus itself;
how SARS affects the
human body once it’s been
contracted; and how the
disease spreads through
the population.

The project is supported
by a national research net-
work called MITACS
(Mathematics of Informa-
tion Technology and Com-
plex Systems) that brings
industry
and aca-
demics
together
to solve
big pro-
blems,

The
team's
project is
called
Transmis-
sion Dynamics and Spatial
Spread of Infectious Dis-
eases! Modelling, Predic-
tion and Control.

The first stage of the
project is to develop a
model for SARS based on
previous models developed
for other, similar infectious
diseases.

Watmough, a Caledo-
nia Secondary grad with
degrees fram UBC, UVic,
and Virginia Tech, is a
mathematics professor at
the University of New
Brunswick in the depart-
ment of mathematics and
statistics. He’s married and
has two children, They live
in Fredericton.

By assembling experts
from so many different dis-
cipline, the group may be
able to provide faster re-
commendations for public
health.

SARS is so new,
scientists are racing to un-
derstand the disease.

ganization says SARS has
