Title |
The process of mathematical modeling for complex biological systems |
Abstract |
Since the revolution of molecular biology in the early 1980s, mathematical modeling has been widely used to understand complex biological systems, which consist of non-linear and stochastic biochemical interactions. Typically, the process of applying mathematical models to biological systems includes mathematical representation of biological systems, model fitting to data, analysis and simulations, and experimental validation. In this talk, I will describe our efforts to develop and integrate mathematical tools across the different steps of the modeling process. I will also discuss the shortcomings of our present approach and how they point to the parts of current toolbox of mathematical biology that need further mathematical development. |
