Talk abstract:
Some Mathematical Modeling of Allergy
and Autoimmune Disease
Lee Segel
Weizmann Institute of Science
Two questions will be addressed. What can a model tell us
about why the standard therapy for allergy only works sometimes,
and takes months or even years to have an effect? How can a
"reverse engineering" approach cast a little light
on autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and autoimmune
diabetes?
