Pure and Applied Talks by Mathematicians Enhancing Diversity in Graduate Education (EDGE) [Organized by Quiyana M. Murphy and Sofía Martínez Alberga]
Single particle tracking techniques can be found in many applications in mathematical biology. These techniques are based on stochastic models whose features rely on defining a problem as a sequence of states. Theory allows us to infer unknown properties of these models using Bayesian inference methods, as well as explore long-term dynamics of the systems. In this talk, I will explore some of these applications in the areas of intracellular transport in live cells, endosomal escape in cancer cells, and FRET models in protein dynamics.
