YRG Session: Training School Highlights & Group Programme
An online Young Researchers Group session — participant reports from the Net4Brain Training School on Mathematical Oncology plus the group's own short programme and networking.
Join the Net4Brain Young Researchers Group online for an afternoon of reports and group activities. Participants of the Net4Brain Training School on Mathematical Oncology present their work — a machine-learning pipeline for characterising tumour core and periphery on glioblastoma spatial data, individual-based models of early brain-tumour development, and modelling of brain-metastasis growth and radiotherapy response — followed by the group's own short programme. The session opens with a welcome and introduction to the Young Researchers Group and closes with networking and final remarks. Registration is required — a Microsoft Teams link will be sent to registered participants closer to the event.
