Description

Mathematical modeling and numerical simulation are essential tools for understanding disease dynamics and treatment strategies. Biological systems underlying the important tasks of disease detection, predicting transmission and treatment are inherently complex, spanning multiple spatial and temporal scales and requiring advanced computational strategies as well as deep area-specific understanding in fields such as physics, engineering, medicine, public health, and mathematical biology. This minisymposium will highlight recent advances in applied mathematical biology modeling and simulation, including studies of antibody kinetics from structured populations, multiscale modeling frameworks for optimizing cancer therapies, and medical device optimization for personalized medicine with results of interest to applied mathematicians, computational scientists, and biomedical researchers.
