Calculating the secrets of life: mathematics in biology
and medicine
-
The human body is an extremely complicated biological system. Spurred
by spectacular recent progress, biology and medicine are experiencing
an explosion of data. In order to convert this firehose of data into
knowledge, mathematics and computation (both old and new) are needed to
build models and navigational tools. This talk will briefly discuss a
few applications to show the impact that mathematics can have in
medicine: in the cell (understanding how enzymes operate on DNA); in
the heart (controlling fibrillation); and in the brain (understanding
brain function).
