Thematic School : CIRM 19-23 march 2012

CIRM,  19-23 march 2012, Marseille FRANCE

This thematic school wishes to bring together specialists and young researchers from different cultures about modeling, numerical simulations and mathematical analysis in oncology. The interest of bringing closer the world of mathematicians and the one of physicians and biologists is confirmed and is very promising. Real progresses have been achieved and the young discipline of biomathematics has developed a lot lately. This meeting wishes to be part of this process, yet more specifically focused on the biology of cancer.
