Using mathematics for deciphering molecular pathways of carcinogenesis in hereditary cancer syndromes: Original perspective
interdisciplinary project blog post Heidelberg Lynch syndrome MathOnco
Aysel Ahadova and myself, we have written a blog post on the official MathOnco blog to describe the importance of mathematical oncology in studying inherited colorectal cancer. We focus on the most common inherited colorectal cancer syndrome, Lynch syndrome, and give insights into our research projects here in Heidelberg, Germany.

New 3-year research project Mathematics in Oncology in Heidelberg
interdisciplinary project MathOnco Heidelberg
Our collaborative initiative in Heidelberg which started with my PhD in 2017 now became an official 3-year research project funded by the Klaus Tschira Foundation. The aim of the collaborative project Mathematics in Oncology is to understand tumor initiation, evolution, and immunology by means of mathematical modeling and thereby find approaches to potentially prevent hereditary cancer in the future.
