A Modelling-Informed Picture of Residual Disease in Environmentally Mediated Drug Resistance

A Modelling-Informed Picture of Residual Disease in Environmentally Mediated Drug Resistance

Explore a 24-minute lecture on mathematical modeling of environmentally mediated drug resistance in cancer treatments. Delve into the concept of residual disease and its implications for cancer therapy. Learn from instructor Noemi Picco of Swansea University as she presents insights from mathematical oncology research. Gain a deeper understanding of how environmental factors influence drug resistance in cancer cells and the challenges this poses for treatment strategies. Part of the Thematic Program on Mathematical Oncology at the Fields Institute, this talk contributes to the broader discussion on mathematical approaches to optimizing cancer treatments and addressing resistance mechanisms.
