Computational Modeling for Cancer Treatments
November 12, 2019 | Terry Sharrer
A collaboration between the Argonne National Laboratory and three university partners proposes that computational modeling of the immune system and tumor environment can better tailor anticancer treatments to individual patients. “While the ability to determine the sufficient level of fidelity for simulations of biological processes is still an open area of investigation, we believe that developing simulation-based methods for potentially engineering mechanism-based biomedical interventions should not wait until the former situation is “solved.” In fact, we contend that investigating the modes and methods of simulation-aided biomechanistic engineering can aid in the determining of how detailed biosimulations “need” to be.” MORE
