Monday 13 Nov 2017: Dynamics Seminar: Clustered ventilation defects in asthma
Graham Donovan - Auckland
LSI Seminar Room B 14:30-15:30
Clustered ventilation defects are a hallmark of asthma, typically seen via imaging studies during asthma attacks. The mechanisms underlying the formation of these clusters is of great interest in understanding asthma. Because the clusters vary from event to event, many researchers believe they occur due to dynamic, rather than structural, causes. This talk will cover recent progress in understanding the mathematics behind clustered ventilation defect formation, interactions with structural factors, and the implications for understanding asthma and its treatment.
