Title: Modern receptor theory and low-dimensional models for binding and signal transduction in mathematical pharmacology
Abstract: Analytical pharmacology stems from concepts underlying classical receptor theory. Many classical assumptions (e.g. monomeric receptors, and single ligand-induced pathway activation) are insufficient to model, understand and exploit the diversity of cellular signalling of pharmacological interest. Here, we present results from recent interdisciplinary work which updates the classical theory. We further outline new directions in the recognised and growing field of mathematical pharmacology, encompassing detailed cell signalling models and compartment models in pharmacokinetics.
The mathematical modelling and analysis in this talk includes linear and nonlinear ODE models, structural identifiability analysis and asymptotic analysis. The talk is designed to be accessible to graduate students.
