Research Area: Mathematical medicine
Research Description: Broadly speaking, I work in quantitative medicine. My research is focused on constructing mechanistic mathematical models of physiological systems combined with drug models to optimize treatment strategies. My current projects include:
1) various studies of hematopoietic stem cell and neutrophil dynamics in health and disease,
2) PBPK/PD models of antiretroviral drugs to improve HIV treatment and prevention (PrEP) design,
3) the reconstruction of immune networks using dynamical systems techniques to understand how the production or consumption of one cytokine casually influences the up- or down-regulation of another
4) assessing phenotypic adaptive resistance in tumour cell co-cultures using game theoretic approaches
