The Fundamentals of Late Stage Cancer 

19-20 September 2019
NW Cancer Research Centre, University of Liverpool 
Workshop Chairs: Peter Weightman, Sarah Coupland,
Jamie Hobbs.
Picture

Workshop Overview

The workshop will explore the contribution that physics and mathematics can make to a fundamental understanding of the later stages of cancer with an emphasis on the evolution of tumours and the development of heterogeneity and their influence on the onset and progress of metastasis. The workshop will also consider progress on optimising the efficacy of proton therapy, the application of live cell imaging to the development of pharmaceuticals and the development of personalised therapies for the treatment of metastatic cancer. The workshop is supported by the Liverpool Centre for Mathematics in Healthcare and the North West Cancer Research Centre at the University of Liverpool

Who should attend?

We invite participation by academic, industrial and clinical research scientists in the UK who are interested in the central goal of generating new collaborative research interactions at the physical/life sciences interface focused on cancer. There is particular encouragement for the participation of the health care professionals. The workshop aims to bring together individuals who are making progress on different aspects of cancer with the aim to bridge gaps in our understanding and promote collaborations across length scales
