From the editor:

Welcome to another edition of This Week in Math Onco! Today we have papers on growth dynamics, spatial interactions, tumor morphology, stem cells, and more…

Be sure to check out the IMO Workshop (the focus of today’s cover art) if you’d like to come visit us at Moffitt for a week of hands-on experience in interdisciplinary math modeling: http://imo12.eventbrite.com.

There are also a few TT positions & postdoc positions, posted below.

By the way, if you’d like to submit one of your papers for inclusion in this newsletter, please click the button below, or navigate to mathematical-oncology.org/newsletter.

Thanks,
