Can age-based restrictions replace horizontal lockdowns?

A novel epidemiological age-structured model and a scheme for comparing different epidemiological strategies are introduced, and applied to COVID-19 as a means of comparing horizontal to age-based lockdowns.

A novel comparison framework for epidemiological strategies applied to age-based restrictions versus horizontal lockdowns
A novel comparison framework for epidemiological strategies applied to age-based restrictions versus horizontal lockdowns

We introduce a scheme for the comparison of epidemiological strategies and employ it to investigate how age-based restrictions would fare against horizontal lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic.

From primary HPV infection to carcinoma in situ: a mathematical approach to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia
From primary HPV infection to carcinoma in situ: a mathematical approach to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia

We construct a model about the transition from an HPV infection to CIN and numerically investigate it in order to illuminate how this transition is affected by the geometry of the cervix, the strength of the immune response, and the frequency of viral exposure.

Mathematical modeling of tumor-immune system interactions: the effect of rituximab on breast cancer immune response
Mathematical modeling of tumor-immune system interactions: the effect of rituximab on breast cancer immune response

We analytically investigate the role of tBregs in breast cancer progression. We model the way NK cells lyse breast cancer cells. We test rituximab as a potential breast cancer cure.
