The Herbert and Florence Irving Institute for Cancer Dynamics will continue its seminar series on the topic of mathematical sciences underpinning cancer research. The monthly seminars take place on the second Wednesday of the month, 2:00-3:00 PM EST. The presentations are open to the Columbia community (in person and online) and to researchers outside Columbia (via Zoom). On Wednesday, February 11th (2:00 PM ET), IICD welcomes Dr. David Cheek from Harvard University. Seminar hosted by Dr. Simon Tavaré.
