SUMMARY:When mathematics meets medicine
DESCRIPTION:Step into the intersection of mathematics and medicine with Pro
 fessor Reiko Tanaka\, revealing how equations can explain disease and trea
 tment.\nRegistration links coming soon. \nAbstract:\nCan mathematics help 
 us understand why diseases like eczema affect people so differently? How c
 an computers reveal why some treatments work for certain patients but not 
 others? In this lecture\, I will share my journey from control theory and 
 engineering into the world of computational biology and medicine: a path t
 hat has been both unexpected and deeply rewarding.\nI will describe how my
  research group develops mathematical models and computational approaches 
 to decode the complexity of biological systems and human disease. Our bodi
 es are remarkable control systems: they constantly sense changes\, process
  information\, and adjust responses to maintain subtle balance. Through ex
 amples spanning eczema\, asthma\, and infectious diseases\, I will illustr
 ate how equations can unveil biological insights: how our immune system re
 sponds and adapts\, why diseases progress differently across individuals\,
  and how we might predict which treatments will work best for each patient
 .\nThrough stories of collaboration\, discovery\, and the occasional chall
 enge\, this lecture celebrates the transformative power of interdisciplina
 ry thinking. It demonstrates how bringing together mathematics\, biology\,
  and medicine opens new frontiers in our understanding of health and our a
 bility to treat disease more effectively.
