This project is at the heart of the national research priority 'Frontier Technologies for Building and Transforming Australian Industries'. Using cutting edge methods and techniques of systems biology, coupled with innovative experimental molecular cell biology we will construct and simulate mathematical models of the EGF-regulated MAP kinase pathway. The project will yield new insights into the fundamental mechanisms of cell signal transduction that drive cell division, differentiation and transformation and may enable the design of new anticancer therapies. Importantly, the modelling and simulation methods developed in the project will have a general applicability to other complex systems such as sustainable ecological systems.Read moreRead less

Summary
New mathematical models for capturing heterogeneity of human brain tissue. This project aims to understand the impact of the heterogeneity of brain tissue on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data in both healthy and diseased human brains, and to extract and quantify information on heterogeneity from the data. The project aims to develop novel mathematical and computational approaches to model the heterogeneity of the human brain. The project aims to identify new biomarkers for classifying differ ....New mathematical models for capturing heterogeneity of human brain tissue. This project aims to understand the impact of the heterogeneity of brain tissue on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data in both healthy and diseased human brains, and to extract and quantify information on heterogeneity from the data. The project aims to develop novel mathematical and computational approaches to model the heterogeneity of the human brain. The project aims to identify new biomarkers for classifying different brain diseases, based on the extent of heterogeneity across different brain tissue. Results will be validated against extensive MRI scanning data of patients. This project aims to advance state-of-the-art techniques in human brain MRI data analysis.Read moreRead less
