Cancer Modelling Through Evolutionary Game Theory

Mathematics of Life - Colloquium

Prof. David Basanta & Dr. Jeffrey West, H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center, USA

Evolutionary game theory (EGT) has recently become a popular modelling framework for understanding, modeling, and treating cancer. EGT is a quantitative framework for modeling evolution and natural selection. The purpose of this event is to introduce the attendees to the topic, the limitations of EGT and the research questions that are being tackled in the field. The event features an introductory talk to this research area by Dr. Jeffrey West and a scientific lecture from Prof. David Basanta. Both speakers are researchers from the Integrated Mathematical Oncology Department at H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center, Tampa, USA.
