Infiltration of Immune Cells into Tumors; a necessary part of immunotherapy

The most exciting breakthroughs in cancer treatment over the last few years have involved activating the adaptive immune system to attack tumor cells. One of the key requirements of a successful attack of a solid tumor is the infiltration of cytotoxic T cells into the tumor. This talk will focus how one can use computational models to better understand the factors governing infiltration dynamics. Our ideas can be applied both to in vitro experimental systems and also directly to patient imaging data.
