Introduction to Computational Oncology

3 Hours

Develop a familiarity with the common computational techniques used in modeling various aspects of cancer at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Investigate how computational modeling offers unique and complementary information to traditional methods of cancer research. Examine the integration of theory and experiment while identifying the current barriers preventing computational modeling from having a broader impact on both cancer biology and clinical oncology. Computational Science, Engineering, and Mathematics 397 (Topic: Intro to Comptatnl Oncology) and 397 (Topic 6) may not both be counted.
