Hwayeon Ryu, assistant professor of mathematics, attended a research collaboration meeting funded by American Institute of Mathematics, held October 23-27, 2023 at Caltech Campus.
Assistant Professor of Mathematics Hwayeon Ryu attended a research collaboration meeting on a project entitled “A mathematical model of macrophage differentiation in the tumor microenvironment” at the American Institute of Mathematics, one of the National Science Foundation-funded institutes located in Caltech campus, CA. Her attendance and collaboration work was supported by an American Institute of Mathematics SQuaRE grant.
During the meeting, Ryu and three other mathematicians (Susanna Röblitz and Anna Frack, both at the University of Bergen and Kamila Larripa at California State Polytechnic University Humboldt; left to right in the picture) collaboratively worked on developing and analyzing a mathematical model of macrophage differentiation at the population level in tumor microenvironment. This project extends their previous work on a deterministic model and a stochastic model, both of which are published in the Journal of Theoretical Biology, one of the top-tier journals in computational biology.
