Description

This minisymposium brings together speakers that will highlight advances in the modelling, simulation, and analysis of various treatments for cancer. Novel approaches are required for new drug developments, including bi-specific molecules, nanoparticles immunotherapies, drug combinations and synergies, adaptive therapy, virtual clinical trials, and so on. Speakers in this session will discuss recent mathematical work aimed at improving understanding of cancer treatment through the simulation and analysis of models. There are numerous factors to consider in the biological response of a treated tumour within the human body. Here we will highlight many of these factors, and the diverse modelling approaches needed to describe and analyze the motivating complex system.
