Mapping the Fitness Landscapes of Cancer

Watch a 29-minute seminar presentation from the Biological Physics/Physical Biology series where Gabor Balazsi explores the complex fitness landscapes of cancer. Delve into key topics including evolution, protein distribution, drug mechanisms, and synthetic biology approaches to understanding cancer. Learn about metastasis regulation, invasion processes, and experimental validation methods. Examine the relationship between mean responses and noise in cancer systems, while gaining insights into nonmonotone responses and their underlying mechanisms. The presentation concludes with an interactive Q&A session, offering deeper understanding of the intersection between physics and cancer biology.
