このエピソードについて
In this episode of Office Hours with Liz Wayne, Liz talks with Stacey Finley, PhD, Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Quantitative and Computational Biology and the Nicole A. and Thuan Q. Pham Professor at the University of Southern California, about how computational and mathematical modeling helps researchers understand complex biological systems, predict treatment outcomes, and explore new approaches to cancer research.
Finley breaks down agent-based modeling and shares how her lab uses these tools to study HER2-positive breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and the role a tumor’s local microenvironment plays in treatment response.
Liz and Stacey also discuss the importance of strong collaboration between modelers and experimental researchers, how AI and machine learning complement mathematical modeling, and why curiosity and creativity are just as important as coding skills for the next generation of computational researchers.
