2011 January 19-21, NIMBioS Investigative Workshop on "Solid Cancer Modeling: Biological, Computational and Clinical Challenges", National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis, Knoxville, TN

This investigative workshop, co-organized by Steve Wise, John Lowengrub and Kasia Rejniak, brought together a diverse group of over 30 researchers, including the mathematical and computational modelers, bio-engineers, cancer biologists and clinicians, with the purpose to evaluate the current state-of-the-art in integrative tumor modeling, identify required biological and clinical parameters, and determine how to translate the modeling results in order to further improve cancer prevention and treatment.
