27/07 2022 - Can math help us understand the gut system of obese people?
Obesity has become a global epidemic and there is no effective cure yet. Some evidence indicates that the bacterial composition of our intestinal system plays a role. A new research project will use advanced math and computer science to investigate. Read more about this article at https://www.sdu.dk/en/nyheder/forskningsnyheder/matomic-tarmsystem.
18/06 2021 - Novo Nordisk funds two grants to boost the mathematical modelling of disease
One grant within this theme in the 2021 Challenge Programme has been awarded to Daniel Merkle, Professor, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Southern Denmark, who is leading the research project Mathematical Modelling for Microbial Community Induced Metabolic Diseases (MATOMIC).
The research project is in tune with one of the major current trends in research for understanding human health: how the composition of gut bacteria affects health. Read more from the Novo Nordisk Foundation and from the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at SDU.
