Modeling in the Biological and Biomedical Sciences
Date: Tuesday April 15th, 2008 at 10:10amLocation: DHC 023
Speaker: Dr. H. T. Banks, Center for Research in Scientific Computation and Center for Quantitative Sciences in Biomedicine
N. C. State University Raleigh, NC
Abstract: We give a survey of several ongoing research projects where mathematical, probabilistic and statistical modeling play a major role. Time permitting, we shall discuss (i) Use of shrimp protein synthesis pathways for the rapid production of anti-toxins in response to attacks (either deliberate or inadvertent) on populations; (ii) Investigation of sub-lethal as well as lethal damage due to pesticides/insecticides in pea aphid populations; (iii) Models with predictive capabilities in the progression of HIV. Each of the projects also involves the use of inverse problem techniques with experimental data and represent significant collaborations of our group with appropriate scientists from biological/biomedical teams.
ATTENTION: MEID students and others are welcome to talk to Dr. Banks after the presentation in DHC 023
