DIVISION OF MATHEMATICAL ONCOLOGY AND COMPUTATIONAL SYSTEMS BIOLOGY
Department of Computational and Quantitative Medicine
The Division of Mathematical Oncology and Computational Systems Biology in the Department of Computational and Quantitative Medicine consists of mathematicians, physicists, and engineers that collaborate with biologists and clinicians to advance research in cancer and diabetes. The Division and Department are part of the Beckman Research Institute at City of Hope and are integrated into all aspects of basic and translational research in cancer and diabetes. Research in the Division ranges from theoretical modeling to algorithms and method development, to data science. Together, computational, experimental, and clinical researchers collaborate to invent and translate therapies for cancer and diabetes into the clinic.
This ‘virtual coffee hour’ features faculty and staff in the Division, with brief 5-minute informal overviews of their research, followed by a discussion session.
