Meghan Ferrall-Fairbanks
Meghan Ferrall-Fairbanks received her B.S. in Mechanical Engineering with a Biomechanics minor at the University of Florida in 2012. She earned her PhD in Biomedical Engineering in 2017 from the joint Georgia Tech and Emory program under the guidance of Dr. Manu O. Platt. In her graduate dissertation work, Meghan focused on integrating wet-lab experimental and computational methods to tease apart complex enzyme-on-enzyme interactions in proteolytic networks up-regulated in tissue destructive diseases. In August 2017, she began her postdoctoral studies in the Department of Integrated Mathematical Oncology at Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute with Dr. Philipp M. Altrock. In her postdoctoral work, Meghan has focused on applying mathematical and computational methods to model cancer evolution in hematopoietic malignancies.
Session
Julia is a great scientific computing language for interrogating ecological and evolutionary dynamics of intratumor heterogeneity and how it changes over time. This talk will appeal to people interested in studying Mathematical Biology and Ecology applications with Julia.
