SUMMARY:Exploiting evolution to design better cancer therapies
DESCRIPTION:This talk will be presented online. Zoom link: 709 120 4849 (pw: 1234)\n\nAbstract: Our current approach to cancer treatment has been largely driven by finding molecular targets\, those patients fortunate enough to have a targetable mutation will receive a fixed treatment schedule designed to deliver the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). These therapies generally achieve impressive short-term responses\, that unfortunately give way to treatment resistance and tumor relapse. The importance of evolution during both tumor progression\, metastasis and treatment response is becoming more widely accepted. However\, MTD treatment strategies continue to dominate the precision oncology landscape and ignore the fact that treatments drive the evolution of resistance. Here we present an integrated theoretical/experimental/clinical approach to develop treatment strategies that specifically embrace cancer evolution. We will consider the importance of using treatment response as a critical driver of subsequent treatment decisions\, rather than fixed strategies that ignore it. We will also consider using mathematical models to drive treatment decisions based on limited clinical data. Through the integrated application of mathematical and experimental models as well as clinical data we will illustrate that\, evolutionary therapy can drive either tumor control or extinction using a combination of drug treatments and drug holidays. Our results strongly indicate that the future of precision medicine shouldn’t be in the development of new drugs but rather in the smarter evolutionary\, and model informed\, application of preexisting ones.

SUMMARY:[CANCELED] Approaches to understanding tumour-immune interactions
DESCRIPTION:CANCELED due to unexpected circumstances\nThis talk will be presented online. Zoom link: 709 120 4849 (pw: 1234) \nAbstract: While the presence of immune cells within solid tumours was initially viewed positively\, as the host fighting to rid itself of a foreign body\, we now know that the tumour can manipulate immune cells so that they promote\, rather than inhibit\, tumour growth. Immunotherapy aims to correct for this by boosting and/or restoring the normal function of the immune system. Immunotherapy has delivered some extremely promising results. However\, the complexity of the tumour-immune interactions means that it can be difficult to understand why one patient responds well to immunotherapy while another does not. In this talk\, we will show how mathematical\, statistical and topological methods can contribute to resolving this issue and present recent results which illustrate the complementary insight that different approaches can deliver.

SUMMARY:Stochastic processes as scientific instruments: efficient inference based on stochastic dynamical systems
DESCRIPTION:This talk will be presented online. Zoom link: 709 120 4849 (pw: 1234)\n\nAbstract: Questions about the mechanistic operation of biological systems are naturally formulated as stochastic processes\, but confronting such models with data can be challenging.  In this talk\, I describe the essence of the difficulty\, highlighting both the technical issues and the importance of the “plug-and-play property”.  I then illustrate some effective approaches to efficient inference based on such models.  I conclude by sketching promising new developments and describing some open problems.
