Funded Activity Summary
Mathematical models for actin scavenging and biofilm removal. The project aims to develop mathematical models for actin scavenging and biofilm removal, processes that combine to alleviate tissue damage and inflammation. Actin scavenging eliminates the protein F-actin which is released during cell death, but this process is not fully-understood. Biofilms are colonies of micro-organisms, for example bacteria, that are highly resistant to antimicrobial treatment. This project expects to generate new knowledge, using an innovative combination of mathematical modelling and cell biology experiments. Expected outcomes include new theory and software, yielding the benefits of increased understanding of cell biology, and potential to enhance development of smart materials that eliminate biofilms.Funded Activity Details
