Theme 1 - Multi-scale systems in healthcare problems
Maths Lead: Prof A B Movchan Health & Life Sciences Lead: Dr S Webb
The theme aims to develop new/improved approaches to modelling systems that span multiple temporal and/or spatial scales
genes → cells → tissues →organs → whole body/individual → population.
Though multiscale approaches may have broad relevance across the Healthcare Technologies, we focus on three projects.
Project 1. Fatigue damage for stents in blood vessels
Academic Team: Prof A B Movchan (UoL), Mr A England (Salford), Dr D Colquitt (UoL)
Clinical/Industrial Team: LivVES (Royal RLBUHT) and Dudley Group NHS
Project 2. Predictions of drug toxicity
Academic Team: Dr R Bearon (UoL), Dr S Webb (LJMU), Dr V See (UoL), Dr M Domijan (UoL), Dr J J Wu (Durham)
Clinical/Industrial Team: AstraZeneca, Walton Centre
Project 3. Multi-scale modelling of a human eye
Academic Team: Prof A Elsheikh (UoL), Prof N V Movchan (UoL), Dr P Pankaj (Edinburgh)
Clinical/Industrial Team: RLBUHT, Ultravision
