When do stem cell clonal dynamics begin?

This was fun to write with Jesse Kreger for Mathoncoblog

This one is a 'behind the paper': Developmental hematopoietic stem cell fate decisions explain clonal dynamics over lifetime by Jesse Kreger and Adam MacLean @adamlmaclean.xyz

Franco Pradelli has made a long-time dream of mine become a reality:

A LaTeX bibliography of every paper in “This week in #MathOnco ” from >6 years!

Our department will be hosting Ben Raphael (CS, Princeton) this week and we are looking forward his seminar this Thursday at noon EST entitled: Quantifying Tumor Heterogeneity Across Space and Time

Also, Twitter is a great place to workshop ideas. Or a blog... like Mathoncoblog 😎

The Eye of the Needle in Oncolytic #Virotherapy by Thomas Hillen in this week's post. A counter intuitive way to treat cancer that will remain underused unless #MathOnco comes to help:

In our latest post, Sara Hamis discusses something of importance to everybody doing #MathOnco . Our models make predictions and we can learn a lot from the failed ones: mathematical-oncology.org/blog/learning-…

When spatial structure in cancer evo dynamics was a hot topic (~2019-20), many discussions were had on the importance of homeostasis & tumor-normal interactions.

Most math modelers agree in theory, but I really haven't seen much published in this area at all.

Bravo to David

Learning from our mistakes

New #antifragility preprint:

'Antifragility as a complex system's response to perturbations, volatility, and time'

wherein we define scales of Nassim Nicholas Taleb's antifragility:

If you are a High School student aged 16 or older and interested in learning how you can apply mathematics to cancer then consider applying to the Mathoncoblog fully funded High School Internship summer program Moffitt Cancer Center: moffitt.org/education/rese…

That deadline? that is today!

Just a quick reminder that the deadline for applications to our (fully funded) PhD program is December 1st ... which is: this Friday!
