About:
The principal objective of this workshop, with its scientific and mathematical focus on the modelling and analysis of cancer invasion and metastasis, was to provide a deeper understanding of the links between intracellular processes and cancer cell population dynamics through the use of multiscale analysis, mathematical modelling and numerical/computational techniques. The plenary talks demonstrated the “state-of-the-art” in this field and generated much fruitful discussion amongst the participants. Modelling in this area has evolved to a point where many of the mathematical models are capable of generating predictions which can be tested experimentally. The workshop was highly stimulating for all participants and proved to be a success, both scientifically and “socially”.
