Abstract

We aim to develop, within a two-site collaboration, integrated mathematical models for pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics that demand innovative biotechnological and mathematical solutions. The project addresses single cell drug responses in heterogenous and dynamic cell populations. The work has widespread application in predictive biomedicine and in silico drug screening. We will focus on drug targeting and its link with perturbation of the mammalian cell cycle using novel live- cell behaviour and protein-tracking methods together with mathematical models. The biotechnology will support the derivation and validation of non-linear models that present significant challenges for structural identifiability. (Joint with grant number 19305).
