Specifically, we are interested in studying the initiation and formation of cellular occlusions in Sickle Cell Disease. We integrate principles from biology, chemistry, and physics to develop mechanistic mathematical models, then computationally analyze them.\u00a0Outputs from these models can lead to &hellip; Read more"}
