Mathematical Moments from the American Mathematical Society Using Math to Support Cancer Research
Dec 29, 2022
Stacey Finley, an Associate Professor at USC and Director of the Center for Computational Modeling of Cancer, dives into the power of mathematical models in cancer research. She highlights how these models allow researchers to simulate tumor behavior without the ethical concerns of invasive patient studies. The discussion touches on challenges like data quality and the limitations of traditional animal models. Notably, she reveals insights into cancer cell metabolism and how modeling can enhance our understanding of tumor interaction with their environment.
