PIMS - SFU Distinguished Lecture in Applied & Computational Mathematics: Anita Layton

Computational modelling can be used to reveal insights into the mechanisms of new drugs and to develop new diagnostic tools. Here I will discuss three major diseases: diabetes, hypertension, and autism. I will talk about how we construct models to simulate new diabetes drugs, to understand sex differences in hypertension, and to develop a new approach for diagnosing autism in children.
