Our lab focuses on developing and applying quantitative mathematical and computational modeling techniques to simulate and predict individual patient treatment responses — transparent, trustworthy and reproducible digital twins for oncology. This positions us at the forefront of ‘virtual trials’ that integrate dynamically evolving patient-specific data to guide optimal treatment for each patient.
