BE Seminar Series: Synchronization is Robust in a Computational Model of Neuronal Network Dynamics and Injury

Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

At the macroscale, synchronization between brain regions is believed to be important for memory and attention. Injury, including mild traumatic brain injury, can both increase and decrease synchronization as measured by functional MRI, but these changes are not well understood and are unknown at a smaller spatial scale. Here, we examined how injury affects the […]

BE Seminar Series: Heterogeneous, Multi-Scale and Patient-Speci C Pharmacodynamic Systems Models for Cancer with Clinical Applications

Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract: Systems models of key signaling pathways in cancer have been extensively used to understand and explore the mechanisms of action of drugs and growth factors on cancer cell signaling. In general, such models predict the effect of mechanical or chemical stimuli (for e.g. drug dosage) in terms of activity of one or more key […]
