Math-Bio: Modelling parasite evolution under increasing temperatures in vector-borne disease

April 30, 2025 - 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm

ESB4133

Concern for the impact of climate change on the spread and severity of infectious disease is widespread. For long-term management of global health, we need to consider parasite evolution under such environmentalchange. Vector-borne diseases are likely to be particularly ... Read more

Fighting the Virus: Disease Modeling and Cybersecurity

May 6, 2025 - 10:30 am to 11:30 am

MATH 203

Many of the words that we use to describe biological disease are often also used to describe cyber systems (e.g. virus, infected). The overall goal of my research in this area is to see how far we can push this metaphor and what we can learn about cyber systems by using models ... Read more

Modeling HIV viral dynamics and ART

May 7, 2025 - 10:30 am to 11:30 pm

MATH 203

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) effectively controls HIV infection, suppressing HIV viral loads to levels undetectable using commercial testing. Typically, suspension of therapy is followed within weeks by rebound of viral loads to high, pre-therapy level. However recent ... Read more

Building mathematical model of cell leading edge from multiplex data

May 7, 2025 - 11:30 am to 12:30 pm

MATH 203

Many cells in our body migrate - 'good' examples are wound healing, embryogenesis and immune response; 'bad' example is metastasis. Migration starts with leading edge protrusion, which is enabled by branching growth of actin network and resisted by membrane tension. Two main ... Read more

Model-Informed Drug Development: Applications in Antibody and Cell Therapy

May 7, 2025 - 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm

MATH 104

Mathematical modelling is increasingly central to pharmaceutical research and development through the framework of model-informed drug development (MIDD). This talk will introduce the core principles of MIDD and showcase its practical application using various modelling ... Read more
