Project description

We will develop a “multi-scale” model of interstitial-to-lymphatic mass transport, which mathematically describes transport processes at the smallest scale, while at the same time accounting for transport over
longer distances via the lymphatic vessels. The model will be set up and validated with experiments in rats. In the longer term, we will scale the model to the human lymphatic system.
