When patients do not use medications as prescribed, the drugs may lose the ability to treat the disease. However, the impact of variations in patient use is not generally studied during clinical trials. By identifying the reasons for patient non-compliance and individual patient modifications, the team will determine the impact that poor compliance or dosing regimen adjustments have on therapeutic failure. A quantitative analysis of this impact will be developed. Initially, the team will focus on oral chemotherapy where concerns about compliance have become an important issue.

Abnormal heart rhythms, or cardiac arrhythmias, can result in significant physical impairment and can lead to an increased risk for serious medical problems such as stroke or even sudden death. This team uses mathematics to further the understanding of cardiac arrhythmias and to develop new methods to predict which patients are at risk for arrhythmias and methods for their control. In the past year systems were developed to analyze changes in the electrical properties of heart tissue.
