Evolutionary Modeling of Cancer

Explore the application of mathematical methods to study evolutionary processes in cancer development and treatment in this 39-minute webinar presented by Dr. Natalia Komarova. Delve into how selection, mutation, and drift influence cancer dynamics, and examine two general evolutionary patterns prevalent in many cancers: loss-of-function and gain-of-function mutations. Gain insights from Dr. Komarova, who holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics and has extensive experience in the field. Learn how mathematical modeling contributes to our understanding of carcinogenesis and potentially informs cancer treatment strategies. Participate in this educational opportunity to earn PACE credits and expand your knowledge of the intersection between mathematics and cancer biology.
