Scientific Interest(s):
Dr. Elliot Landaw's research interests center on kinetic analysis, compartmental modeling, nonlinear estimation and optimization problems in pharmacokinetics, physiology and molecular biology. His methodological interests in parameter estimation, optimal/robust sampling designs and adaptive control for computational models address problems arising from a variety of collaborations with experimental and clinical groups. Applied projects include the optimal design of DNA-sequence reading molecules, the use of model-based adaptive control for cancer chemotherapy and modeling glucose transport across the blood-brain barrier.
