Annual interdisciplinary workshops

 

The CCSB holds annual interdisciplinary interactive workshops in Cancer Systems Biology. The aim of these workshops is to bring together clinicians, biologists, mathematicians, and computer scientists to discuss state-of-the-art issues in Cancer Systems Biology.

Workshop topics will be discussed in morning keynote lectures by clinicians, biologists, and mathematicians. Breakout working groups will be held in the afternoon, where workshop participants will discuss Cancer Systems Biology problems with the keynote speakers and develop novel mathematical/computational models.

The workshop series is part of the Center of Cancer Systems Biology (CCSB) outreach and education effort funded by the National Cancer Institute's Integrative Cancer Biology Program (ICBP). The CCSB based at St. Elizabeth's Medical Center, Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston, USA brings together diverse researchers to better understand the molecular and tissue-level events underlying the evolution and progression of cancer. The team of lab investigators and research staff assembled at the CCSB is working to develop novel quantitative and qualitative approaches to the problem of cancer, both at the molecular and at the systems level.

Details about the next workshop can be found at http://www.cancer-systems-biology.org/workshop.html.
