In this in-person session, Juilee Thakar, PhD, will present how mechanistic mathematical models developed using large-scale omics data can be used to develop digital twins and virtual patients. The models further facilitate in-silico perturbations and the investigation of responses. Specifically, she will talk about atherosclerosis, a vascular disease.

Registration is not required. Attendees are asked to sign in at the event for CME.

Speaker:

Juilee Thakar, PhD, University of Rochester, Department of Microbiology & Immunology

Bio:

Thakar received a bachelor's in microbiology and mathematics from the University of Pune in India and a PhD from the University of Wuerzburg in Germany. During her PhD and postdoc, she developed mathematical models of immune responses and signaling cascades involved in infectious diseases. For the past ten years, her group has been focusing on similar topics, developing methods to harness information from large-scale data and existing knowledge to investigate human immune responses.
