Now time for @kitcgallagher.bsky.social on cool work with @mathonco.bsky.social on clinically applicable mathematical biomarkers using a Lotka-Volterra model #UKMathBio

Chasing Perfection - previous work to optimize adaptive therapy schedules for cancer rely on monitoring the patient continuously. We find that accounting for discrete clinical appointments across multiple tumor models motivates patient-specific personalization in optimal tx!

Deriving Optimal Treatment Timing for Adaptive Therapy: Matching the Model to the Tumor Dynamics
Adaptive therapy (AT) protocols have been introduced to combat drug-resistance in cancer, and are characterized by breaks in maximum tolerated dose treatment (the current standard of care in most clin...

Great news for the promotion and dissemination of open science, and hopefully institutions that benefit from this service will also be able to support this long-term initiative financially!
Big news: we are setting up a new non-profit organization to run bioRxiv and medRxiv. It's called openRxiv [no it's not a new preprint server; it's dedicated organization to oversee the servers] openrxiv.org 1/n
Homepage - openRxiv
openRxiv is an independent non-profit, the new organizational home for bioRxiv and medRxiv, enabling researchers to instantly share groundbreaking findings with the global scientific community.

#HiSciSky! I'm in the final year of my PhD applying math modeling and deep learning to improve treatment scheduling in late-stage cancers. I'm starting to look for #postdocs in #mathonco and cancer #evolution if you know anyone who's hiring!

Sounds like what we need is something that makes it easier to generate quantitative, interpretable metrics that describe observable biological differences in tissue, without being a black box and requiring unreasonable amounts of training data...
