Mathematical and computational ophthalmology: insights from data-driven multiscale modelling of the eye

Description:
Mathematical ophthalmology is a novel and rapidly evolving interdisciplinary field in which diverse techniques across mathematics are applied to deepen our understanding of the formation, structure, and function of the eye during development, health, and disease. Mathematical and computational models are driving technological advances in diagnostic tools for clinicians, predicting and monitoring disease progression, and deepening our understanding of the physiology of the eye. In this mini-symposium, our speakers will present some of the cutting-edge research across this area, highlighting how mathematics can contribute to solving complex biological and medical problems. Themes covered will include (but not be limited to): harnessing clinical trial image data, quantifying diagnostic cellular characteristics, agent-based modelling, continuum modelling, collective cellular behaviours, wound healing, and ocular drug delivery.
