Inria Associate Teams Not Involved in an Inria International Labs

• Associate Teams Inria project, "Modelling Leukemia", 2014-2017.

  • Participants (Dracula): Mostafa Adimy, Samuel Bernard, Apollos Besse, Abdenasser Chekroun, Raouf El-Cheikh, Thomas Lepoutre [Coordinator], Laurent Pujo-Menjouet, Léon Tine, Céline Vial.

  • Partners: This is joint with Center for Scientific Computing and Applied Mathematical Modeling (Doron Levy) at University of Maryland (USA) (http://dracula.univ-lyon1.fr/modelling_leukemia.php).

  • The project Modelling Leukemia is devoted to the modeling of several aspects of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. Leukemia is the most famous disease of the blood cell formation process (hematopoiesis). Chronic myeloid leukemia results in a uncontrolled proliferation of abnormal blood cells. As the hematopoiesis involves stem cells (not accessible to observations), mathematical modeling is here a great tool to test hypothesis. We want to add up the expertise of Inria team DRACULA specialized on the modeling of blood cell formation and the Center for Scientific Computation and Applied Mathematical Modeling (CSCAMM, University of Maryland, College Park).
