Seminar (WS 2012/13)
Principles of Cancer Development: Mechanisms and Mathematical Models
Objective:
We are still lacking a principal understanding of the precise causes and consequences of critical events triggering the initiation and progression of cancer. Mathematics, especially statistical and mechanistic models, can provide essential insights into tumor dynamics. The main focus of the seminar is the introduction of mathematical models addressing key steps of cancer development such as signaling, differentiation and growth. By means of talks, discussions, and computer simulations, key questions and mathematical models will be introduced. 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.
