Title: Mini-symp on risks of cancer
Organizer: Marek Kimmel, Professor, Rice University, US
Short description: We discuss selected topics related to modeling risks of cancer, at different biological scales, ranging from molecules and genes, to cells and cancer patients. We begin from the process of shortening and elongation of telomeres, chromosomal ending that ensure correct segregation of genomes. We show how branching processes allow accurate modeling of various aspects of this process, including aberrations leading to abnormal cell proliferation. Another topic concerns mathematical and statistical modeling of DNA sequencing of breast cancer cells. Mathematical tools include models of population genetics, and statistics such as Site Frequency Spectra (SFS). Finally, we turn to prognosis of lung cancer patients treated with immunotherapy, based on longitudinal blood counts.
