About the Workshop

 

The goal of this 3-day in person workshop is two-fold:

a) To introduce BS/MS/PhD students and early career researchers across disciplines, how predictive quantitative modeling (Dynamical models, AI/ML approaches etc.) can impact cancer diagnostic and/or therapeutic advances.

b) To nurture an interdisciplinary community integrating computational modelers and clinicians with the goal of improving patient outcomes in the clinic.

 

The workshop, in addition to providing exposure to fundamental of computation oncology and advance ongoing research, will also provide opportunity to interact, network and get benefitted from accomplished resource persons from academia, industry and medical-practitioner.

 

Important Note: The workshop will also provide opportunity to selected candidates to showcase their research as a poster. Further, the best research idea from participants may be recommended for financial support. For details visit webpage.

 

About the Department

The young and dynamic faculty members of the department have versatile experience both in teaching and research in various areas of Mathematics and Statistics. Currently the faculty members of the department are actively engaged in various research areas pure and applied mathematics. The department is currently running BS/BTech program in Mathematics and Computing, MTech program, MSc Program, and PhD program.

About the Parma Hansa Center for Computational Oncology

The Param Hansa Centre for Computational Oncology (PHCCO) at IISc   Bangalore fosters research in predictive and quantitative mathematical models of cancer progression, metastasis, and tumor relapse, to identify the underlying fundamental dynamics of these multi-scale processes and to eventually improve patient outcomes in the clinic. The Centre aims to nurture an active community of future leaders in computational oncology in India, through inter-institutional, cross-disciplinary collaborations among researchers in academia, medicine, and industry.
