The demand for biopharmaceuticals has increased over the past few decades. There are currently over 200 biotherapeutics on the market, with many more in trials or in the pipeline. Many of the recent biotherapeutics are monoclonal antibody therapies, with the treatment for COVID-19 being one of the more famous examples. Monoclonal antibody therapies are quickly becoming the standard of care for various cancers, anti-immune disorders, and chronic inflammatory diseases.
In this talk, I will give an introduction to hypergeometric functions over finite fields and some recent developments including joint work (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2103.08858.pdf) with Wen-Ching Winnie Li and Ling Long. In this joint project, we consider the hypergeometric data corresponding to a formula due to Whipple which relates certain hypergeometric values _7F_6(1) and _4F_3(1).
