Abstract:
Mathematical models in biology and physiology integrate known biological constructs to understand a particular process or phenomenon, to fill in the gaps of the unknown, to create new hypotheses, and to redesign the models based on experimental outcomes and measures. The aim of this special session is to present the state of the art in modeling of development and diseases, in particular, cancer. The session has an emphasis in the integration of models from multiple scales into a framework that can make predictions at scales relevant to physiology and clinical applications.
