Design Principles of Complex Cellular Decision-Making Networks in Cancer

Explore the design principles underlying complex cellular decision-making networks in cancer through this 55-minute conference talk by Mohit Kumar Jolly at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into how cancer cells make critical decisions through intricate molecular networks and understand the fundamental principles that govern these complex biological systems. Learn about the theoretical frameworks used to analyze high-dimensional cellular networks and discover how low-dimensional models can provide insights into cancer cell behavior and decision-making processes. Examine the intersection of systems biology, cancer research, and theoretical physics as applied to understanding cellular networks. Gain insights into how cells process information and make decisions that affect tumor progression, metastasis, and treatment response. This presentation is part of the "Unifying Theories in High-Dimensional Biophysics" program, which aims to develop common theoretical frameworks for understanding complex biological systems across multiple scales and disciplines.
