Decoding Evolutionary Information from Cancer Trees

Explore a 41-minute lecture on decoding evolutionary information from cancer trees, presented by Alison Feder from the University of Washington, Seattle. Delve into the intersection of oncology and evolutionary biology as part of the Thematic Program on Mathematical Oncology. Gain insights into how cancer progression can be understood through the lens of evolutionary trees, offering a unique perspective on tumor development and potential treatment strategies. Learn about cutting-edge research methods and analytical techniques used to extract valuable information from these cancer trees, potentially revolutionizing our approach to cancer diagnosis and therapy. This talk, scheduled for October 1, 2024, is part of the "Ecology and Evolution of Cancer" series hosted by the Fields Institute, providing a platform for interdisciplinary discussions on the complex dynamics of cancer evolution.
