Multiscale Models for Enhancing our Understanding of Tumor-Immune Dynamics and Combination Therapies
Increased understanding of molecular mechanisms that mediate the pathogenesis of cancers is leading to careful manipulation of these pathways and the development of new cell-specific approaches to cancer therapy. At the same time, advances in cancer immunotherapy have led to the reemergence of their clinical use and effectiveness. Using data-driven computational models is a powerful and practical way to optimize novel combinations of these two very different therapeutic options for clinical cancer treatment. This talk will highlight a suite of multiscale mathematical models designed to optimize targeted drug treatment strategies, alone and in combination with immunotherapy.
Celebration of Women in Math Day
Friday, March 21
Registration: https://forms.thecollege.asu.edu/form/celebration-of-women-in-math-day
The Celebration of Women in Mathematics is a joyful opportunity for the mathematical community to celebrate women in mathematics. The day is part of an international initiative to inspire women everywhere to celebrate their achievements in mathematics, and to encourage an open, welcoming, and inclusive work environment for everybody. May 12 was the date originally chosen for this annual event, as it is the birthdate of Maryam Mirzakhani. Our school will be hosting our celebration on March 21, since May 12 is after ASU's spring semester ends.
Trachette Jackson will give the keynote lecture. She is the Associate Vice President for Research - Strategic Partnerships and Inclusive Excellence and University Diversity and Social Transformation Professor of Mathematics at the University of Michigan.
This year’s celebration will also include research lightning talks by graduate student and post docs, and a luncheon.
