Special Session 62: Mathematical models of cell migration, tumor growth and cancer dynamics
Contents
Cancer often involves processes at multiple scales, which can affect both how we build models of these systems and the data sets needed to estimate model parameters. In this talk I will discuss some examples using identifiability and parameter estimation to understand cancer cell dynamics, including examining the interactions of human papillomavirus (HPV) transmission dynamics with carcinogenesis and population cancer trends.
