Mathematical modeling for Oncology
Mathematical modeling for Oncology

The MONC project-team aims at developing new mathematical models involving partial differential equations and statistical methods based on a precise biological and medical knowledge in order to build numerical tools based on available quantitative data about cancer. The goal is finally to be able to help clinicians and/or biologists to better understand, predict or control tumor growth and possibly evaluate the therapeutic response, in a clinical context or for pre-clinical studies. We plan to develop patient-specific approaches (mainly based on medical imaging) as well as population-type approaches in order to take advantage of available large data bases. We claim that our work may have a clinical impact that can change the way of handling certain pathologies.
