Minisymposium (ID: SS-MHP)

Mathematics of human placenta: a window into fetal origins of adult disease

Organizers: C.M. Salafia, Placental Analytics, LLC, O. Shlakhter, Alberta Health Services, M. Yampolsky, Mathematics Department, University of Toronto

Understanding how developmental problems of the fetus affect adult health risks is an important public health goal. Human placenta faithfully reflects abnormalities of fetal growth. Modeling placental growth and quantifying its vascular structure is a rich subject offering many exciting mathematical problems. The goal of the session is to bring together mathematicians and medical scientists working in this field. It will build on a very successful special session of AMMCS-2011
