Project Description

This project is concerned with mathematical models of cancer initiation, cancer progression, and cancer therapy. This involves mathematical models of tissue stem cell dynamics, clonal cellular evolution in tissues during aging in relation to the development of cancer, and evolutionary models of drug resistance in cancers. Hematological malignancies are a major focus of this work. With respect to therapies and drug resistance, this work involves the use of mathematical models with patient-specific parameters to make personalized predictions about treatment outcome.
