Long Bio
Fabio Milner studies structured population models, including demography, epidemics, ecology, and tumor growth. Populations are usually structured by age (demographic and/or age-of-disease), and may also be structured by sex, size, or other relevant variables. The team studies theoretical properties of the models, such as existence, uniqueness, preservation of non-negativity, and asymptotic behavior, as well as real-life applications.
Professor Milner and his collaborators are also developing a family of epidemiological models structured by immunological variables in order to describe the multi-scale problem of disease propagation at the individual level (“small scale”) and at the population level (“large scale”) in a single model. They also study treatment of acute myeloid leukemia with nutlins and their impact on blast proliferation.
