Dynamic Modeling in Academic and Industrial Biochemical Processes

在这个项目中，PI试图将她在工业数学方面的研究计划扩展到分子和细胞层面的生物科学。作为该大学重视发展基因组学和生物信息学项目的一部分，正在鼓励传统生物科学系与数学和计算机科学系之间的合作。PI希望利用这一趋势在校园内组建新的研究联盟，这将促进她的研究事业，并增加学生的教育机会。因此，该项目的一部分是让PI在校园内的集成生物科学中心(CIB)工作，并与Daryll Dewald博士合作建立细胞信号过程的模型。提案的另一部分是与爱达荷州科技公司(IT)的科学家建立新的合作关系，该公司开发基于聚合酶链式反应(PCR)的快速DNA检测设备。培养行业联系，尤其是在犹他州，对于USU工业数学硕士项目的活力和有效性非常重要，该项目由MPS多学科活动办公室(OMA)和数学科学部(DMS)共同支持。

In this project the PI seeks to expand her research program in industrial mathematics into the biosciences at the molecular and cellular level. As part of the University's emphasis on developing programs in genomics and bioinformatics, collaborations between traditional biosciences departments and departments such as Mathematics and Computer Science are being encouraged. The PI wishes to take advantage of this trend to form new research alliances on campus, which will enhance her research career, as well as increase educational opportunities for students. Therefore part of the project is for the PI to work at the Center for Integrated Bioscience (CIB) on campus and collaborate with Dr. Daryll Dewald on modeling processes in cellular signaling. The other part of the proposal is to build a new collaboration with scientists at Idaho Technology (IT), a firm that develops fast DNA detection devices based on PCR (polymerase chain reaction). Cultivating industrial contacts, especially within Utah, is important to the vitality and effectiveness of the Industrial Math Masters program at USU, which the PI helped to create in 1999.This IGMS project is jointly supported by the MPS Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA) and the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS).
