Professor Jane White
Research interests:
Jane is interested in mathematical modelling of problems arising from the healthcare sciences with a focus on control and monitoring. She uses a range of ideas from control theory, including optimal and feedback control, to study control of infectious diseases both at the outbreak stage and when infections are endemic in populations. She has worked on infections including HIV, HPV and Chlamydia and is currently interested in scarlet fever. Her other area of research develops and analyses mathematical models to explore how drugs are absorbed and/or monitored through the skin. The skin is an important route for drug delivery and monitoring but the highly heterogeneous barrier is poorly understood and so mathematical models, typically involving both PDE and ODE systems, are useful to explain experimental outcomes and can contribute to the development of new hypotheses.
