On Friday, November 13th, 1.30-3.30 p.m. Aula M, Dr. Juan Calvo Yagüe (Centre de Recerca Matematica, Barcelona) will give the seminar entitled Mathematical modelization in neurodegenerative diseases.
Abstract:
It is believed that protein polimerization processes play a very important role in the development of some neurodegenarative pathologies like Parkinson or
Alzheimer’s. Coagulation-fragmentation equations provide a powerful methodology to tackle polimerization processes. We will review discrete, continuous and
stochastic formulations of coagulation-fragmentation phenomena and some recent modeling applications in the field of neurodegenerative diseases.
