Mathematical Modeling for Womens Health: Collaborative Workshop for Women in Mathematical Biology

The purpose of this work is to focus mathematical modeling on issues affecting womens health. Working in six collaborative teams, researchers developed new mathematical models to address questions in a range of application areas. Topics include HIV, oral contraceptives, blood clotting, breast cancer, neonatal respiration, and outbreak forecasting. The work is the result of newly formed collaborative groups begun during the Collaborative Workshop for Women in Mathematical Biology hosted by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications and UnitedHealth Group Optum in June 2022.

This is an open access book.
