309 Quantitative Approaches to Disease Mechanisms & Therapies

Somerset East (Westin )
Description:
This session highlights applying conventional – e.g., reaction and transport phenomena – and emerging – e.g., dynamical systems and statistical mechanics – concepts from (bio)chemical engineering to aid in understanding disease mechanisms and designing therapies. Submissions that integrate experimental work with simulation and that demonstrate a clear connection between engineering fundamentals and disease pathophysiology are particularly encouraged.
