| Title | Mathematical and numerical modelling in medicine and biology |
| Participants | João Janela (Principal Investigator), Alexandra Moura |
| Summary | Mathematical and numerical models, together with computer simulation, are playing an increasingly relevant role in life sciences, namely in biology and medicine. Considering that cardiovascular diseases are one of the major causes of death in developed countries, the simulation of blood flow and of the cardiovascular system in general, is certainly a subject that will stay relevant for decades. Also, it is an exciting subject that combines pure and applied mathematics, as well as biology, chemistry, fluid mechanics and computer science. This project will cover issues related to mathematical and numerical modelling of non-Newtonian blood flow, fluid- structure and fluid-particle interactions, geometrical multi-scale, and biochemical processes in blood flow. |
