This leads to the uncontrolled growth of certain cell<br>subpopulations selected by evolutionary pressure, which ultimately<br>threatens the host’s survival.<br><br>In the last 15 years, countless algorithmic, statistical, and<br>mathematical modelling strategies have greatly aided in understanding<br>the disease’s intricacies, especially by leveraging the vast and<br>increasing amounts of omics data generated from cancer<br>samples. Importantly, new experimental paradigms, such as those on<br>patient-derived models are delivering the first exciting results.<br><br>In this lively field, the **Como School on Cancer Evolution**<br>(CSCE 2023) brings together researchers from both dry- and wet-labs to<br>explore the challenges posed by cancer as a an evolutionary disease.<br><br>The School will allow the participants to gain expertise on<br>state-of-the-art concepts, methods and applications from both cancer<br>biology and computational sciences, especially data science and<br>artificial intelligence, and to get a glimpse into the vision of<br>pioneers in the field of cancer evolution.<br><br>Participants are encouraged to present their work in two presentation<br>sessions that will be held during the workshop.<br><br>Finally, all the attendees will receive a certificate of completion of<br>the School.<br><br><br>Speakers (confirmed)<br>--------------------<br><br>* Charles Cantor, Professor Emeritus (Boston University, USA) and<br> Chief Scientific Officer at Sequenom, Inc.
