BIOE Seminar - Dr. Elsje Pienaar - Computational Agent-Based and Equation-Based Models of TB and HIV
TB and HIV are the leading causes of death from infectious diseases in the world, causing a combined 12 million new infections each year. They are also a deadly combination in co-infected patients, and as many as 70% of TB patients are co-infected with HIV. Both infections require long-term, multi-drug therapy and suffer from emergence of drug resistance. Thus, there is a

There are currently no effective approaches to treat presbyopia, the unavoidable age-related loss of the ability of the eye to accommodate (i.e., to change focus). Most of the current strategies for the correction of presbyopia rely on the assumption that presbyopia is due mainly to age-related changes in the mechanical properties of the crystalline lens of the eye. Howeve

Abstract: The fact that the most significant life-threatening diseases of our times such as Cardiovascular Diseases or Cancer remains the number one killer for over a century suggests that, despite the advancements in science and medicine over the years, there is a huge gap in translating these scientific findings to clinical setting. One of the major reasons for this gap
