Summary
Scientists are using the power of mathematics to take action against cancer.
These unique analytical methods have contributed to an exciting new approach to cancer investigation and treatment.
Joining us on this episode is Dr. Alexander (Sandy) Anderson, Ph.D. Dr. Anderson is the Chair of Integrated Mathematical Oncology at Moffitt Cancer Center.
Dr. Anderson researches the mathematical modeling of cancer in order to develop eco-evolutionary therapies that can control cancer – rather than eradicate it.
Listen in to learn about:
- The "dialogue" between a growing tumor and its changing environment.
- How scientists are using mathematics to understand complex biological phenomena.
- What it takes to construct mathematical models that translate to cancer treatment strategies.
Is mathematical modeling the future of cancer research? Find out now from a professional at the forefront of this investigative approach. To find out more about Dr. Anderson and his work, visit www.mathematical-oncology.org and www.moffitt.org.
