Collective Cell Behavior in 3D Cell Assemblies—3D Printed Structures, Random Aggregates, and Perfectly Precise Arrays The remarkable differences between cells grown on plates and cells in vivo or 3D culture are well-known. At the physical level, cell shape, structure, motion, and mechanical behavior in 3D are totally different from those in the dish and are

Structural and practical identifiability analysis of a multiscale immuno-epidemiological model We perform the identifiability analysis of a multiscale model of seasonal influenza with multiscale data. We show that the well studied target cell limited within-host model is not structurally identifiable. So, we reformulate the model and work with a scaled within-host model which is structurally

Modeling Resistance in Oncolytic Viral Therapy Drug resistance is a common phenomenon in the treatment of cancer. As with other cancer therapies, treatment failure due to resistance also occurs for the oncolytic viral therapy (OVT). In this talk, we introduce a simple deterministic model of tumor-virus interaction to investigate OVT resistance. The free oncolytic viruses
