Interesting conference coming up: "Mathematical modelling approaches to virtual clinical trials" careerandinnovationhub.ca/mmavct2022/

My Computational Radiation Biology and Oncology Lab @RadNetCRUKCoL @UCLmedphys @uclcancer will soon advertise for a postdoc to work on mathematical/statistical modelling to optimise drug-radiation combination therapy schedules. DM me to discuss. Please RT. #mathonco #radonc

Just published! We proudly present "Hallmarks of Cancer: New Dimensions" by Douglas Hanahan, the third update to the seminal series. bit.ly/3GkSqZK @Ludwig_Cancer

Fascinating new insights into how cancer cells use and switch between different mechanisms of focal gene amplification (extra-chromosomal vs intra-chromosomal) to evolve resistance to drug treatment. Beautiful work by @graeber_thomas and team! cancerdiscovery.aacrjournals.org/content/early/…

My Computational Radiation Biology and Oncology Lab @RadNetCRUKCoL @UCLmedphys @uclcancer is seeking a postdoc to work on theoretical modelling (integrated with experimental data) of glioblastoma radiotherapy resistance: atsv7.wcn.co.uk/search_engine/… DM me to discuss. Please RT.

Herculean effort from @KamPoels+colleagues to initiate a clinical trial based on a validated model of combination therapy in lung cancer. Happy to have contributed in the initial stages of model development and to see this finally out in @NatureComms. go.nature.com/3wMTj8x

@jemarbather Congratulations, Jemar!!!

@shaon_chak @NatureComms Thank you, Shaon. You are an amazing mentor and this wouldn’t have happened without you!
