PeerJ Author & Reviewer

Summary

Winston Garira currently works at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Sol Plaatje University. He is the head of the Multiscale Mathematical Modelling of Living Systems program (M3-LSP). Their current project is 'Multiscale Modelling of Biological Processes in Living Systems'. His research group became engaged in multiscale modelling of Biological Systems in 2013 after they became convinced that this new modelling framework may provide a more concrete understanding of not just infectious disease dynamics alone but also other biological systems than the current single scale framework based on compartmentalizing hosts into susceptible, exposed, infected, recovered (SEIR), and variations of this paradigm (e.g. SI, SIS, SIR etc.) which are either age-structured or sex structured.
