The Site Frequency Spectrum in Growing Cancer Cell Populations

Explore a lecture on the site frequency spectrum in growing cancer cell populations, delivered by Jason Schweinsberg from the University of California, San Diego. Delve into the mathematical aspects of cancer evolution as part of the Fields Institute's Thematic Program on Mathematical Oncology. Gain insights into how mathematical models can be applied to understand the genetic diversity and evolution of cancer cell populations. Learn about the site frequency spectrum and its significance in analyzing the growth patterns of cancer cells. This talk, presented on October 4, 2024, is part of the broader series on "The Ecology and Evolution of Cancer," offering a unique perspective on the intersection of mathematics and oncology.
