Project B6

Evolutionary models for spatially structured tumors

Johannes Berg, U Cologne | web | email

The project builds spatially structured population genetics models for tumor evolution, including cell migration and clonal interference, and develops methods to infer evolutionary parameters from tumor sequence data. These data and models will be used to predict the likelihood of resistance mutations in solid tumors under therapy.
