This poster demonstrates how comics can be used to inform teens about puberty by focusing on the Indian comic Menstrupedia. It has been adapted from a PowerPoint presented at the 2017 Graphic Medicine Conference in Seattle and includes information about graphic medicine, the health-based comics movement.

We present the performance gains of an openMP implementation of a fully adaptive nonlinear full multigrid (FMG) algorithm to simulate three-dimensional multispecies desmoplastic tumor growth on computer systems of varying processing capabilities. The FMG algorithm is applied to solve a recently published thermodynamic mixture model that uses a diffuse interface approach with fourth-order reaction-advection-diffusion PDEs (Cahn-Hilliard-type equations) that are coupled, nonlinear, and numerically stiff. The model includes multiple cell species and extracellular matrix (ECM), with adhesive and elastic energy contributions in chemical potential terms, as well as including blood and lymphatic vessels represented as continuous vasculatures. Advection-reaction-diffusion PDEs are employed …

The cost of bringing a drug to market depends on how quickly a candidate drug can be “discovered” and evaluated to ensure safety and effectiveness. In this work we develop a method for predicting whether a given drug and protein compound will “bind.” Our aim is to select a set of features to predict drug-protein interactions.
This study focuses on kinases. Kinase inhibitors are the largest class of new cancer therapies. Selective inhibition is difficult due to high sequence similarity, leading to off-target interactions and side-effects. Pictured here human c-SRC.
