submit an abstract by Friday to present at #SACB2025! we are building on excellent meetings held bi-annually since 2016. this time, we’ll be at @CUAnschutz, a great location to connect and share our science.
Abstracts are due this Friday for #SACB2025! A great meeting for those who are employing systems approaches in cancer. We have an incredible array of speakers and a fantastic new location near Denver, Colorado.

#SysBio4CancerResearch: Mathematical modeling has made a significant recent impact in the design of treatment scheduling protocols that are evolution-based strategies to mitigate the evolution of resistance. But there is still many unanswered questions, and #MathOnco or #SysBio approaches will be key to future work. We’ve outline open questions in the field here: elifesciences.org/articles/8…

#SysBio4CancerResearch: Another important future direction is the integration of AI/ML approaches with mechanistic modeling. Combining highly predictive black-box approaches with parameterized math models to gain mechanistic insight into that black-box: frontiersin.org/journals/imm…

A8: I also think there may be opportunities for more translational #SystemsBiology initiatives like @ARPA_H ADAPT, which aims to harness advanced technologies and a deep understanding of tumor biology to build cancer #biomarkers. arpa-h.gov/research-and-fund… #SysBio4CancerResearch

#SysBio4CancerResearch: The best way to bring preclinical data to bear on clinical translation is the integration of mathematical models to interpolate or extrapolate these data, and to test & generate hypotheses about underlying biological mechanisms. A great example of this model iteration process from Paras Jain & @mkjolly15: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
