Research summary

Avner Friedman develops mathematical and computational models of diseases and their treatments, using systems of differential equations to simulate processes like cancer growth, immune response, wound healing, and metabolic disorders. This work aims to predict how combinations of therapies (such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and senolytic drugs) might affect disease progression, offering a modeling-based complement to laboratory and clinical studies. The research sits at the intersection of applied mathematics and biology/medicine, translating biological mechanisms into quantitative, testable models.
