Fall Semester Research Projects


The RTG grant is sposoring a year long REU in Mathematical Biology for a team of mathematics and biology undergraduates.

Mathematical Physiology Research Group

The goal of our research is to better understand the fundamental processes that enable an organism, be it a human or a bacterium, to live and reproduce. We use mathematical modeling, analysis, and computational simulation to explore variety of physiological processes, including cardiac action potential dynamics, calcium handling, the construction, regulation and function of various organelles. The research group consists of graduate students, postdocs and faculty, led by Jim Keener, in the Mathematics Department working in collaboration with several experimentalists at the University of Utah. Our work is supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health.
