From the editor
#MathOnco friends,
This week's issue contains a nice review of integrative approaches to immunotherapy, chemotactic tumor cells, network topology & growth laws, and cancer resistance. Also, don't forget to scroll down for a new job announcement from the MacLean lab.

A Mathematical Oncology Blog Post
Vishhvaan Gopalakrishnan: "The fine details of an evolving population’s journey to drug resistance is typically lost in experiments where only the start and end of this journey are investigated thoroughly. Morbidostats and other bioreactors are a way to counter this dilemma by following the population’s changes closely over time."
#MathOnco - Book of the month
Partial Differential Equations
Theory and Completely Solved Problems
T. Hillen, I.E. Leonard and H. van Roessel:
"We, as authors, were quite concerned about the high pricing of textbooks. Hence, for the second edition, we offer our book under a self-publishing license. This allows us to attain professional quality, while being able to set affordable prices. This textbook has been class tested for many years and it is a professionally produced textbook for a third-year PDE course. It offers many learning tools that allow students to make progress and master the material. "
