Pagnapech Ngoun 鈥26, an engineering major, presented her collaborative research in a poster titled, 鈥 Mathematical Modeling of COVID-19 Reveals Immune Cell Dysfunction.鈥 Their research represents recent findings based on a new mathematical model聽that accounts for the interaction between SARS-CoV-2 and the human immune system. Her research team聽is mentored by Associate Professor Hwayeon Ryu, who also contributed as a judge in the undergraduate poster session. Their work has been supported by the聽聽(under PI Ryu).

In the invited paper session “Trends in Mathematical and Computational Biology” organized by SIGMAA on Mathematical and Computational Biology, Ryu also delivered her oral presentation on her NSF-funded project.
