Speaker
Description
In this talk I will describe how mathematical modeling of brain tumors inspired by physical phenomena can shed light on the dynamics of gliomas. I will describe novel therapies, imaging based biomarkers, counter-intuitive alternative treatment schedules, surface-driven phenomena and scaling laws. All of this phenomena will be discussed on the light of using mathematical (physics-like) modeling to raise concepts and hypothesis of clinical applicability.
Short CV:
Graduate in Physics and PhD in Quantum Optics (Complutense U). Associate professor (1997) and full professor (2002) in Applied Mathematics at the Mathematics Department of the University of Castilla-La Mancha. Director of the Institute of Applied Mathematics in Science and Engineering at the same university. He has published more than 130 ISI-indexed research papers with 4200 citations and has an H-index of 33. Currently he leads several national and international projects on the application of mathematical modeling to oncology with clinical applications.
