In this 1 hour 47 minute seminar from the Mathematical Oncology series, explore how cancer manipulates ecological and evolutionary processes to overcome therapeutic interventions. Dr. Jacob Scott, known as @cancerconnector on social media, presents groundbreaking research on the mechanisms through which cancer cells adapt to and evade treatments. Learn about the complex temporal dynamics of cancer progression and how understanding these "twisted timescales" could lead to more effective treatment strategies. Discover potential approaches to counter cancer's adaptive capabilities and improve therapeutic outcomes. This presentation is part of the #mathonco seminar series organized by the Mathematical Oncology organization, offering insights at the intersection of mathematics, ecology, evolution, and oncology.
