Talk Abstract:

Drug resistant cancer cells are a big problem in treatment. In this introductory talk, we will formulate and analyze a stochastic model describing multi-drug resistance. We will introduce CML and the new miracle drugs known as small molecule inhibitors. Our main question is, how many small molecule inhibitors must be simultaneously prescribed to treat a tumor of fixed size?
