Research Interests
Research in the Linderman group uses approaches from computational and systems biology to understand and manipulate cell responses. Current work includes:
- multi-scale and multi-system approaches to understanding the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, focusing especially on cytokines, immunomodulation, antibiotic treatment, and generation of appropriate T cells
- developing mathematical models of signal transduction pathways, particularly for G-protein coupled receptors, and
- identifying potential therapeutic targets and optimizing drug delivery for breast cancer treatment.
