Highlights of the Year

The team published in medical journals with strong impact factors like Cancer Research (Mathematical modeling of tumor-tumor distant interactions supports a systemic anti-proliferative control of tumor growth by S. Benzekry, et al for instance).

A new promising collaboration has started with the group of Yuval Shaked (double ERC laureate) at the Technion Israel Institute of Technology and first joint publication Dose- and time-dependence of the host-mediated response to paclitaxel therapy: a mathematical modeling approach by Benguigui et al will appear in Oncotarget, 2017.

Sébastien Benzekry received of the title of Assistant Associate Professor in the Department of Medical Biosciences of Iowa State University, reinforcing a starting collaboration with Jonathan Mochel about PK/PD modeling for comparative oncology.

Two former members of the team (Thierry Colin and Vivien Pianet) were hired by Sophia Genetics (http://www.sophiagenetics.com) to build its new imaging department and developed works initiated in Monc.
