Niklas Hohmann (PhD Instytut Biologii Ewolucyjnej (IBE))
Group theoretic limits on the reconstruction of evolutionary processes
Evolutionary processes in deep time such as trait evolution or speciation and extinction are reconstructed from the limited evidence available in the present. Understanding limiting factors on the information content of these reconstructions is crucial …
Oct. 20, 2021, 12:15 p.m.
Marcin Choiński (doktorant MIM oraz SGGW)
Discrete models of epidemic spread in a heterogeneous population
I will present discrete models of epidemic spread in a population in which we consider two groups of people: with a low risk of an infection and with a high one. These models are built …
Oct. 13, 2021, 12:15 p.m.
Agata Lonc (Szkoła Doktorska Nauk Ścisłych i Przrodniczych UW)
Mathematical modelling of bacteria spread in the inter-hospital network
In my talk I will present a model describing the spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria in a network of n hospitals and n community nodes representing parts of society outside of hospitals. The model consists of …
June 9, 2021, 12:15 p.m.
Laurent Pujo-Menjouet (Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 France)
Neurodegenerative diseases: nice collaboration stories between biologists and mathematician leading to a better understanding of prion and Alzheimer’s disease
Through the past two decades, a great collaboration started between biologist and mathematicians to understand the complex dynamics of neurodegenerative diseases. During this presentation, we will dive into a short overview of the prion and …
May 26, 2021, 12:15 p.m.
Aleksandra Puchalska (MIM UW)
Multigroup SIS type model with fixed time impulses
In the talk we present a system of SIS models coupled by impulses at fixed times in the way that it can describe the transfer of patients between healthcare facilities. The first aim for his …
May 19, 2021, 12:15 p.m.
Agata Lonc (studentka MIM)
Mathematical modeling of bacteria spreading in the inter-hospital network
Diseases caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria are a serious problem in modern healthcare systems, increasing both mortality and cost of healthcare. Our aim is to create a network of hospitals which represents real transfer of patients, …
May 12, 2021, 12:15 p.m.
Mark Chaplain (School of Mathematics and Statistics, Mathematical Institute, University of St Andrews)
A Mathematical Framework for Modelling the Metastatic Spread of Cancer
Invasion and metastasis are two of the hallmarks of cancer and are intimately connected processes. Invasion, as the name suggests, involves cancer cells spreading out from the main cancerous mass into the surrounding tissue, through …
May 5, 2021, 12:15 p.m.
Mariusz Bodzioch (Uniwersytet Warmińsko-Mazurski w Olsztynie)
Angiogenesis and chemotherapy resistance: optimizing chemotherapy scheduling using mathematical modeling
Chemotherapy remains a widely used cancer treatment. Acquired drug resistance may greatly reduce the efficacy of treatment and means to overcome it are a topic of active discussion among researchers. One of the proposed solutions …
April 28, 2021, 4:30 p.m.
Urszula Ledzewicz (Lodz University of Technology & Dept. of Mathematics and Statistics, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville)
On the Role of the Objective in the Optimization of Compartmental Models for Biomedical Therapies
In the talk we review and discuss results obtained through an application of tools of nonlinear optimal control to biomedical problems. We start with introducing a general form of the compartmental model and then discuss …
April 21, 2021, 12:15 p.m.
Monika J. Piotrowska i Marek Bodnar (MIM UW)
On the optimal use of bevacizumab in unresected glioblastoma: An evidence-based mathematical approach
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive type of brain tumor in adults, with a median patient survival slightly above one year, despite aggressive combination therapy with the alkilating agent temozolomide (TMZ) and radiation …
April 7, 2021, 12:15 p.m.
Victor Pérez-García (University of Castilla - La Mancha)
Scaling laws and evolutionary dynamics in cancer: Results and open mathematical problems
Many natural systems are complex entities composed of a large number of interacting individual elements. It is remarkable that they often obey the so-called scaling laws. These ‘laws’ relate an observable quantity to a measure …
March 24, 2021, 12:15 p.m.
Sinem Serap (doktorantka UW)
Recent Developments in Neurotechnology
The idea of moving robotic devices just by thinking, through use of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), has been research area that attracted attention since 1970s. BCI systems are used to allow users to communicate with computers …
