Did you ever think that something as romantic as your heartbeat or as vital as antobiotics could be described and optimized using mathematical models? These tools help scientists and doctors better understand and treat us!

Electricity gives rhythm to your heart

Dr. Andjela Davidovic (Engineer, Department of Computational Biology, Institut Pasteur, CNRS USR3756)
The heart's rhythmical behavior can be described with mathematical models. Such models can be used for virtual experiments on a heart so that we can understand many abnormalities. They can also help and guide cardiologists to design treatments and surgeries. Come to dance with us on a heart beat!

Antibiotics can be automatic!

Virgile Andreani (Doctoral student, Inria & Institut Pasteur)
Mutant bacteria always find new ways to resist antibiotics. To know which antibiotic and how much of it to prescribe, doctors either take a guess or perform a basic test which can unfortunately miss some information. But your treatment could be computed optimally with a mathematical model and an automated lab device!
