BIS-Japan Idex Université de Bordeaux

  • Project acronym - BIS-Japan Idex

  • Duration - 2015

  • Coordinator - C. Poignard

  • Abstract - The project proposes to gather the skills of the Japanese partner on cell migration modeling, molecular pathways in cancer and theoretical aspects of partial differential equations with the experience of the Bordeaux team MONC (Modeling in ONCology), which involves researchers from University of Bordeaux, IPB, CNRS and Inria, in cancer modeling. More particularly, the team MONC is invoved in the derivation of tumor growth models and of accurate finite volume numerical schemes to solve the partial differential equations in order to provide a deep multiscale knowledge of the tumor development at the cell scale. The overall aim of this project is to propose a comprehensive study of the metastatic processes at the cell scale, by highlithing the molecular pathways and the main chemical processes involved in cancer cell migration and division.
