Applied Math Seminar — Mario Banuelos (Cal State University, Fresno)
Title: A Recommendation Systems Approach for Detecting Epistasis Abstract: There are a variety of methods used to understand and interpret an organism’s phenotype, the physical expression of one or more genes. Epistasis, the phenomenon of one mutation affecting the resulting quantitative or qualitative phenotype, is used to assess gene variation in an attempt to find a combination of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that contribute to a certain phenotype. Since one SNP rarely completely describes an organism’s phenotype, detecting these groups,…

Applied Math Seminar — Selenne Bañuelos (Cal State University Channel Islands and Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics, UCLA)
Title: Exploring Phage Treatment for Bacterial Infections with Mathematical Modeling Abstract: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious threat to global health today. A renewed interest in phage therapy – the use of bacteriophages to treat pathogenic bacterial infections – has emerged given the spread of AMR and lack of new drug classes in the antibiotic pipeline. This talk will feature mathematical models from an ongoing research project that began in 2019 during the Collaborative Workshop for Women in Mathematical Biology…
