Im Modellierungsseminar diskutieren wir Fragestellungen der Physik, der Biologie, der Geologie, der Wirtschaft ... und lernen dadurch die Mathematik von einer völlig neuen Seite kennen: Mathematik ist in vielen Bereichen unseres Lebens enthalten!

Im diesem Modellierungsseminar diskutieren und lösen die TeilnehmerInnen in Kleingruppen mit Hilfe der Mathematik Probleme und Phänomene aus der Medizin, z.B. Auswirkungen und Effektivität von Impfstrategien. Die im Seminar erhaltenen Modelle werden anhand von frei zugänglichen Daten kalibriert. Sie erlauben einen Ausblick auf die (mögliche) zukünftige Entwicklungen und auch den Einfluss von Parametern auf die Problemgrössen.

Dieses Seminar steht in gleicher Weise MathematikerInnen, WirtschaftsmathematikerInnen, LehramtskandidatInnen und Medizinern offen.

Schwerpunkt dieses interdisziplinären Seminars werden nichtlineare gewöhnliche bzw. partielle Differentialgleichungen (Modellierung, Analysis und Numerik) sein. Von medizinischer Seite wird es von Prof. Dr. med. Helmut Brunner, Facharzt für Mikrobiologie und Infektionsepidemiologie, Universität Düsseldorf, betreut.

Im Rahmen des Seminars werden wir das Mathematica Software Paket EpiModel der Polytechnischen Universität Valencia kennenlernen.

  Modelle zur Dosisfindung von Antibiotika (Thema von Helmut Brunner und Axel Dalhoff)

Die Pharmakologie der Antibiotika läßt sich in die Pharmakokinetik (PK) und die Pharmakodynamik (PD) unterteilen. Eine antibakterielle Therapie sollte im Idealfall zur klinischen und zur bakteriologischen Heilung führen. Werden nicht alle pathogenen Organismen durch die Therapie beseitigt, kann es während oder am Ende einer Therapie zur Vermehrung von Subpopulationen der Erreger mit höheren MIC-Werten (MIC Minimal Inhibitory Concentration) und potenzieller Resistenzentwicklung der Erreger gegen das Antibiotikum kommen. Daher wird versucht, mit Hilfe des PK/PD-Modells, das die in vivo ermittelten Parameter der Pharmakokinetik (meist als Blutspiegel) mit dem in vitro bestimmten MIC-Wert verbindet, geeignete Dosierungen für eine bessere Wirkung der Therapie zu finden.
