Final #MathOnco keynote at #SMB2025 @smbmathbiology.bsky.social with Mohit K. Jolly taling about Epithelial to Messenchymal Plasticity (EMP). Great talk and of great importance not just for #metastasis (the context in which it is usually studied) but also #treatmentResistance
Riley Manning (now at @math.onco) showing her work at University of Minnesota modeling tumor-immune interactions in glioblastoma and how computational models #MathOnco can help us explore how different aspects of these interactions can explain different outcomes in #cancer
#SMB2025 @smbmathbiology.bsky.social
Plenary this morning @smbmathbiology.bsky.social by Mary Myerscough (U of Sydney) modeling atherosclerotic plaques. Included a great slide showing why #MathModeling. The process of formulating models is key (even if it not always leads to a publication).

Today's @smbmathbiology.bsky.social business meeting. Giving Jane Heffernan a heartwarming farewell and she passes on the reins to incoming president Reinhard Laubenbacher #SMB2025

Also...shoutout to the #BiologyInNumbers podcast by @pbiwan

Entertaining and insightful talk @smbmathbiology.bsky.social by Tom Yankeelov including an impassionate defense of mechanistic modeling that incorporate biology. Fully agree with his take
#SMB2025
Excellent minisymposium at #SMB2025 @smbmathbiology.bsky.social on using imaging to parameterize agent-based models in #mathonco. One of the speakers my colleague Kasia Rejniak describing a powerful approach to use histology in modeling #immunotherapy
Leading off the Tuesday programme, Fred Adler (@dendroicap.bsky.social) from the University of Utah is giving the John Jungck Prize lecture on "Education, Bureaucracy and Corruption", explaining the bureaucracy of cell regulation ans intracellular signaling. #SMB2025
Great plenary for this morning at @smbmathbiology.bsky.social by former SMB president and legendary #mathbio person Fred Adler. Burocracy as the way our body tries to stop cancer
#SMB2025
Yesterday's @smbmathbiology.bsky.social #mathonco minisymp with
@math.onco 's chair and friend @sandy presenting models that capture patient data and help us to understand how to improve treatment schedules in a clinically translatable way #SMB2025
Kicking off the scientific programme, Mark Lewis from the Univeristy of Victoria is giving a plenary talk forvthe Akira Okubu prize, titled "One equation helps solve three paradoxes in the spatial ecology of predators and prey". #SMB2025
