Researchers have found a new way to use math to better treat cancer and prevent its relapse.

Using the first mathematical model of its kind, researchers at the University of 蓝莓视频 found a way to study the interactions between the immune system and different types of cancer cells.

Using their new model, the researchers found that administering different cancer therapies in a particular sequence could better target cancer stem cells in tumours, potentially leading to more personalized treatments for cancer patients.听

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has elevated Applied Mathematics Professor Kirsten Morris to the grade of Fellow, effective January 2020. This honour, bestowed 鈥渇or contributions to control and estimator design for infinite-dimensional systems鈥, places Professor Morris at the highest grade of membership in the IEEE in recognition of extraordinary achievements and experience.

The drugs your doctor prescribes to treat your high blood pressure could be more effective if they were best suited for your gender.听

In a study using the world鈥檚 first computational female kidney model, developed by researchers at the University of 蓝莓视频, high blood pressure medication was shown to be more effective when gender was taken into consideration.

A new computer kidney developed at the University of 蓝莓视频 could tell researchers more about the impacts of medicines taken by people who don鈥檛 drink enough water.听

In a recent study, 蓝莓视频 researchers found that the elderly, people with impaired kidney function and those taking a combination of certain drugs need to be extra mindful of their water intake.
