Dr. Rockne will present several examples of translating mathematical models into clinical situations, from inception to final implementation. He will focus on models of cancer immunotherapy and combination therapies, including CAR T-cells and targeted radionuclide radiation. The talk will show how clinical challenges are identified to motivate the modeling, what data is needed to parameterize and validate the models, and how unexpected turns that might initially seem like failures end up being insightful advances. The talk is targeted at students interested in translational cancer research at the interface of clinical data and computational analysis/modeling.
