Description:
------------

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will bring together 
a multidisciplinary collection of experts to work on refining
mathematical models of cancer growth, therapy delivery, and cancer
interaction with the immune system.  A central goal of the workshop 
will be to combine state of the art knowledge of immune-related
treatment strategies with mathematical models that can reflect
realistic qualitative and quantitative behavior of cancer growth
and response to treatment. 

The workshop is organized by
Lisette de Pillis, Ami Radunskaya, and Charles Wiseman.

Space and funding is available for a few more participants.
If you would like to participate, please apply by filling
out the on-line form (available at the link above) no later
than September 12, 2005. Applications are open to all, and
we especially encourage women, underrepresented minorities,
junior mathematicians, and researchers from primarily
undergraduate institutions to apply.

AIM Research Conference Center (ARCC):
--------------------------------------

The AIM Research Conference Center (ARCC) hosts focused
workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. ARCC
focused workshops are distinguished by their emphasis on
a specific mathematical goal, such as making progress on a
significant unsolved problem, understanding the proof of an
important new result, or investigating the convergence between
two distinct areas of mathematics.
