White text on blue background: Trachette Levon Jackson, PhD (1972 - ). Dr. Jackson specializes in mathematical oncology, using mathematical models to study tumor growth and treatment. In 2003, she became the second African- American woman to become a Sloan Fellow in mathematics. There is a snippet of math serving as decorative black text in the back that is from JC Arciero, TL Jackson, DE Kirschner (2004) A MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF TUMOR-IMMUNE EVASION AND siRNA TREATMENT in Discrete and Continuous Dynamic Systems Series B Vol 4, No 1. At the top is a banner with the University of Michigan logo and LSA Mathematics University of Michigan. At the bottom is a red, yellow, green banner reading Black History Month and the International Press of Boston logo.
Continuing our #BlackInMath series for #BlackHistoryMonth, #IPB is proud to highlight Dr. Jackson of @umich.edu, a pioneer in Mathematical Biology. She develops models to predict tumor growth & treatment. Her career is a testament to the power of #appliedmath in medicine. #BlackExcellence #STEM
