Mathematical Challenges in Modeling Cancer Dynamics

This workshop aims to address the diverse mathematical challenges arising from mathematical modelling of cancer dynamics, from the analytical and numerical study of these models, to their application and validation with real data.

The particular issues we envision to be discussed include

  • the mathematical modelling of tumor dynamics, describing growth, invasion, metastasis and treatment efficacy;

  • the analysis of the qualitative properties and the asymptotic behavior of PDEs models including
    phenomena such as hard congestion, surface tension, and phenotypic heterogeneity;

  • the numerical challenges arising from the simulation of these models, which may have high computa-
    tional cost or require conservative schemes capable of accuratively capturing the singular properties of the
    solutions;
  • data integration with novel data assimilation techniques, image processing, statistical methods and artificial intelligence.
     
The workshop will take place at Laboratoire Jacques-Louis Lions (LJLL), Sorbonne Université, Paris.
It
 will last three days, commencing on Wednesday 11th October afternoon and closing on Friday 13th October before lunch.
