Mathematics is becoming increasingly useful in modern molecular medicine. We will present examples in which math was used to develop a rapid and economical test for organ transplant compatibility; to identify a broken genetic pathway that could be treated to suppress lymphoma tumor growth; and to detect, identify and quantify pathogens or genes associated with disease. These collaborations also lead to novel mathematical problems, and we will show that they can often be solved using methods from the undergraduate curriculum!

Dr. Steve Wasserbaech, a Physics Professor at Utah Valley University, has 49 publications since the beginning of 2011 through the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the pre-eminent world laboratory for particle physics. He has been thoroughly involved in the most recent research with the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. He involves students in his research as often as possible.
