About this Class
The goal of this exploratory workshop is to identify scientific and collaborative bridges between the communities of mathematical theory development and computational cancer biology research by bringing together mathematical theorists and cancer biologists from across various subfields.
Through talks, group discussions, and breakouts, the workshop is expected to result in insights addressing the following questions:
What collaborative barriers and opportunities exist across mathematical theoretical methods development and cancer biology research?
How can these communities more effectively find each other and collaborate?
What are opportunities for NCI to address functional gaps (communication, education/research silos, pace of research) between these communities?
