PhD Math Defence: Models of Cytokine Dynamics During Cytokine Storms and Synergy During Virus and Drug Combination Therapy
Marianne Waito, Ph.D. Thesis Defence
This thesis presents two mathematical models that aim to support biological researchers in the fight against cancer. They are based on biological phenomena observed by researchers at the Ontario Veterinary College (OVC). The first models interactions of cytokines during a fatal cytokine storm, while the second models effects of combining an oncolytic virus and an epigenetic modifier.
