Author: Cara Peters , Advisor: Doron Levy (Math)


Problem Statement Presentation

Project Proposal

Abstract
Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) is a blood cancer affecting approximately 1 in 100,000 people. While there are many different treatments for controlling CML, there is currently no cure. Recently, many mathematical models have been developed to explore disease genesis and the effects of various therapies with the hope of improving or discovering new therapeutic strategies. It will be the goal of this project to study three such models: an agent-based model, a system of difference equations and a system of partial differential equations.
