Ryu, assistant professor of mathematics, published a paper on investigating the impact of combination therapy of antibiotic and phage on the immune system.
Assistant Professor of Mathematics Hwayeon Ryu has published a peer-reviewed paper entitled 鈥淚nvestigating the impact of combination phage and antibiotic therapy:聽a modeling study鈥 in .
This work is a result of recent collaboration from the UCLA Institute for Pure & Applied Mathematic (IPAM) 聽in 2019 with mathematical biologists including 聽at Case Western Reserve University and 聽at Virginia Commonwealth University. In this collaboration, Ryu and co-authors studied聽combination therapy of antibiotic and phage, including the effect of the immune system based on mathematical modeling.聽These results received attention from 聽at San Diego State University, an experimental biologist working on the effect of innate immune response to phages. This naturally led to a new collaboration project, in which we will investigate the bacteria-phage interaction both without immune response and with it using mathematical modeling and experimental data (provided by Roach’s lab).
Focusing on the groundbreaking work of women in mathematics past, present, and future, Springer鈥檚 AWM Series presents the latest research or proceedings of conferences worldwide organized by AWM. All works are peer-reviewed to meet the highest standards of scientific literature, while presenting topics at the cutting edge of pure and applied mathematics, as well as in the areas of mathematical education and history.
