Summary of the project

The project is a broadly based, multidisciplinary research program which has a specific major objective to enable PhD students (Early stage Researchers, ESR) to acquire knowledge, skills and strategies needed to study math models in few specific fields of Neuroscience, Biochemistry ( with specific emphasize to Metabolic processes), Clinical Physiology and Oncology. The ESRs competences involve interdiciplinary fields of Mathematics, Biology, Medicine, Chemistry, Physics etc. The integration of mathematical modeling tools into clinical and experimental medical research can aid in both the core understanding of real processes and the mechanisms that drive them. By using a range of mathematical modeling approaches targeted at specific types of human deceases we hope to aid in the development and testing of treatment strategies.

This multi-model, multi-scale approach allows for a diverse and rich interdisciplinary environment that is planned to create different approaches for the treatment and understanding the evolution of some specific human deceases. Crucial is the true integration of theoretical models with real human deceases and treatments, which requires sophisticated imaging techniques and potentially new experimental and clinical protocols.

The program project involves the organized efforts of specialists working in different fields of mathematical models and branches of mathematical analysis, probability, equations of mathematical physics, computer sciences. Therefore, members of project are conducting research projects designed to elucidate the various aspects or components of the objective.

The resources planned for the project have three different directions:

• Investment to promote an appreciation for and interest in biomedical mathematical models and provide additional training of PhD and former PhD students in specific areas. The purpose is also to develop ways to disseminate scientific discovery into public health and community applications. 
• Other resources are planned for problems where multiple expertise is needed to focus on a single complex problem in biomedical research.
• Finally, some resources to invite public and private nonprofit organizations to evaluate the possibilities for practical applications and collection of feedback materials and result needed for further development of the models and possibility for their application link Ivo
