°Õ³ó±ðÌý°×С½ãÂÛ̳ Institute for the Physics of Living Systems (IPLS) and °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Institute of Healthcare Engineering (IHE) are hosting an interdisciplinary workshop on 30 January 2019 focusing on the mechanobiology and physics of cancer.
The workshop will be attended by , Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) who will be inputting his expertise in microfluidics, mechanobiology and computational modelling of cancers. The workshop will be followed by a keynote talk by Professor Kamm as part of the IHE Colloquium Series and networking drinks – open to all.
The workshop itself will begin with a session of short 10 minute talks presenting an overview of °×С½ãÂÛ̳’s research in this area. If you are interested in presenting at the workshop, please submit a short expression of interest to healthcare-eng@ucl.ac.uk by 11 January under the subject heading ‘Expression of interest for IHE/IPLS workshop’.
The workshop aims to build a multidisciplinary community to develop methods to map the mechanical, structural, chemical, cellular and genetic heterogeneity of tumours across scales. The IHE will be funding a PhD studentship related to activities around this workshop. There will also be discussion directly focused around the EPSRC call  for a cancer mechanobiology proposal.
