Application Area “Health”
AA Health targets mathematical research to overcome main problems in computational approaches to elucidate disease pathogenesis at the molecular or physiological level, which may lead to the design of specific tools for disease treatment or prevention. Directions include:
- Effective multiscale models of cellular dynamics and math-powered drug design
- Data-driven modeling of evolutionary processes
- Co-evolution in public health
