A Mathematical Model of Evolution of Drug-Induced Resistance

Explore a 55-minute lecture on the mathematical modeling of drug-induced resistance evolution, presented by Eduardo Sontag from Northeastern University. Delve into the complex interplay between cancer treatment and the development of drug resistance, as part of the Fields Institute's Thematic Program on Mathematical Oncology. Gain insights into how mathematical models can help predict and understand the evolution of resistance in cancer cells, potentially informing more effective treatment strategies. Examine the intersection of ecology, evolution, and oncology through this thought-provoking talk, which is part of the broader series on "The Ecology and Evolution of Cancer." Enhance your understanding of the challenges faced in cancer treatment and the role of mathematical approaches in addressing these issues.
