During Michaelmas Term, OxTalks will be moving to a new platform (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
For now, continue using the current page and event submission process (freeze period dates to be advised).
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Tumour microenvironment is characterised by heterogeneity at various scales: from various cell populations (immune cells, cancerous cells, …) and various molecules that populate the microenvironment (cytokines, chemokines, extracellular vesicles, …); to phenotype heterogeneity inside the same cell population (e.g., immune cells with different phenotypes and different functions); as well as temporal heterogeneity in cells’ phenotypes (as cancer evolves through time) and spatial heterogeneity.
In this talk we overview some mathematical models and computational approaches developed to investigate different single-scale and multi-scale aspects related to heterogeneous immune responses during cancer evolution. Throughout the talk we emphasise the qualitative vs. quantitative results, and data availability across different scales
