Seminar (SS 2012)
Biology and Mathematics of Brain Tumours
Objective:
We are still lacking a principal understanding of the precise causes and consequences of critical events triggering the initiation and progression of cancer. In the case of malignant brain tumours mathematics, especially statistical and mechanistic models, can provide essential insights into brain tumour dynamics. The main focus of the seminar is the introduction of mathematical models addressing these questions by means of talks, discussions, and computer simulations. The seminar consists of four parts: “tumourigenesis & progression“, „molecular signalling“, „invasion“, „prognosis & new therapies“. The full program results from the kickoff meeting. The seminar is intended for undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics, biology, medicine, or computer science who are interested in this highly interdisciplinary research area.
