The integration and application of mathematical and computational models to better understand and predict cancer initiation, progression and treatment.
To support the growing momentum in our field of Mathematical Oncology, we feel the time is ripe to establish a new regularly recurring (annual or bi-annual) meeting that will provide an international venue for collaboration, integration, training and synergy for our exciting fusion of disciplines. A major focus of this conference will be Sex Differences in Cancer, in part due to the research focus of Kristin Swanson (local host and chair) and generous support from the McDonnel Foundation.
The conference will be held in the old town of beautiful Phoenix.
30th April - 3rd May.
We are excited to announce the inaugural Mathematical Oncology meeting in Spring 2023 (30th April - 3rd May) in Phoenix. This international meeting builds on the robust legacy of growing initiatives related to the application of mathematical and computational approaches in cancer biology and clinical oncology including:
To support the growing momentum in our field of Mathematical Oncology, we feel the time is ripe to establish a new regularly recurring (annual or bi-annual) meeting that will provide an international venue for collaboration, integration, training and synergy for our exciting fusion of disciplines. We look forward to seeing you in Phoenix to launch the next chapter in Mathematical Oncology as we leverage the power of mathematics to drive forward positive change for patients with cancer.
Sincerely,
Kristin & Sandy
Meeting Co-Chairs
Abstract submission is now closed. Note: Registration for the meeting will open at a later date.
The conference will be held on location at the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hotel Paradise Valley hotel (5401 N. Scottsdale Rd. Scottsdale, AZ 85250). There is a Group Code for a conference rate "CDTMYO", available until until April 7th. More options for lodging and accommodations are found below.
Hosted in Phoenix, this conference will be three full days of science through early evenings. Extended mid-day breaks strategically aligned to be able to enjoy the sun whilst not missing out on the science.
Talks from mathematical, biological, clinical collaborators. All are welcome.
The meeting will be a mix of didactic and abstract sessions. Didactic sessions seek to provide overviews to allow clinicians to engage the mathematics and for the modelers to engage the holy grail challenges in oncology. The abstract sessions will provide candidate solutions related to those challenges.
Each abstract session will be pre-ambled by a tutorial/didactic session providing a foundation in the area. Example (but not inclusive) themes of didactic sessions include: Intro to Mathematical Oncology, Sex differences in Cancer, Intro to Immunotherapy, Intro to Biomarkers, Intro to Evolutionary Therapy, Intro to Tumor-Stromal Interactions, Intro to Genomics and Intracellular Dynamics.
