Purpose
We are excited to announce the 2nd Mathematical Oncology meeting in Fall 2025 (October 29th - 31st) in Tampa, Florida, hosted by Moffitt Cancer Center. 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:
- The successful NCI-funded Cancer Systems Biology Consortium (CSBC https://csbconsortium.org) and the NCI-funded Physical Sciences in Oncology Consortium (PSOC https://physics.cancer.gov) that drove a series of NCI-funded Mathematical Oncology meetings in Berkeley (2010), Tampa (2012 and 2014), Tampa (2016) and Portland (2019)
- The establishment of the Mathematical Oncology Subgroup within the Society for Mathematical Biology in 2018 (http://mathematical-oncology.org/smb-mathonco.html)
- The launching of the "Mathematical Oncology Newsletter" (http://mathematical-oncology.org/newsletter) in 2018 which now has over 2300 subscribers!
- The launching of the "Mathematical Oncology Blog" (http://mathematical-oncology.org/blog) in 2019 which now has over 100 posts
- The launching of the "Mathematical Oncology Website" (http://mathematical-oncology.org) in 2019 as a community resource bringing together the newsletter, blog, jobs, seminars, conferences, artwork, and group leaders from around the world.
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 Tampa 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,
Sandy & Kristin
Meeting Co-Chairs
Registration & Abstract Submission Coming soon.
If you wish to not attend onsite but rather livestream the conference for a discounted rate, during registration please use COUPON CODE: MATHONCO25-LIVESTREAM.
The conference will be held on location in Tampa, Florida. Options for lodging and accommodations are found below.
Tampa
Hosted in Tampa, 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.
Interdisciplinary focus
Talks from mathematical, biological, clinical collaborators. All are welcome.
Lodging & Accommodations
- Coming soon
Agenda
Structure of the meeting
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.
