DESCRIPTION:The call for application is now closed.\n	The proposed worksho
 p intends to help early career researchers from diverse theoretical scienc
 es background to transition to work in physical and systems oncology areas
 \, and experimental cancer biologists with a quantitative bent to incorpor
 ate theoretical frameworks in their research.\n	A tumor is a complex ecosy
 stem with a myriad of bio-physical and -chemical effects operative over va
 rying time and length scales – from genetic/non-genetic changes in cells
  during cancer initiation to colonization of distant organs and resurgence
  of tumor after therapy. While it has been largely been studied from a red
 uctionist and descriptive molecular perspective\, recent advancements in e
 xperimental tools have enabled mapping systems-level spatiotemporal change
 s with high precision and thus attracted the attention of physicists\, mat
 hematicians\, and engineers. However\, developing concerted theoretical fr
 ameworks to make testable predictions for disease progression is still in 
 its infancy. Participants will be exposed to the latest open questions in 
 the field and experience an intellectual cross-fertilization of research i
 deas in terms of applying different models to better predict cancer progre
 ssion dynamics.\n Topics:\n		Stochastic cell-fate decisions in cancer\n	\
 n		Cellular cooperation and competition in cancer\n	\n		Cell mechanics and
  soft matter aspects in cancer\n	\n		Emergent dynamics of tumor-stroma int
 eractions and co-evolution\nSpeakers:\n	N. Balasubramanian\, IISER Pune\,
