Mathematical Oncology 1
Graduate course, University of South Florida (USF) and Moffitt Cancer Center, Department of Integrated Mathemtical Oncology (IMO), 2018
I taught together with other faculty members of the IMO (and of USF Mathematics) every Fall Semester from 2018 to 2020.
We covered the following topics:
The purpose of mathematical modeling in cancer
Growth laws, time scales, spatial scales
The dynamic nature of cancer evolution and cell population dynamics
Agent-based models for cancer bioliogy
Cancer therapy: resistance, dosing, timing, and adaptive therapy
Cancer-immune interactions
Stochastic models of cancer evolution, growth, and response to therapy
