Ecological Niches for the Development of Drug-Induced Resistance

Explore the concept of ecological niches in the context of drug-induced resistance in cancer treatment through this 26-minute lecture by Kasia Rejniak from Moffitt Cancer Center. Delve into the intersection of ecology, evolution, and oncology as part of the Fields Institute's Thematic Program on Mathematical Oncology. Gain insights into how cancer cells adapt and develop resistance to drugs within specific ecological niches, and understand the implications for cancer treatment strategies. Learn about cutting-edge research in mathematical oncology that combines ecological principles with cancer biology to address the challenges of drug resistance in cancer therapy.
