Participation in 9 ECM

Our postdoctoral researcher Jacobo Ayensa Jiménez was invited to participate at the 9^th European Congress of Mathematics (9ECM), which was held in Sevilla from July 15^th to July 19^th, where he presented our efforts for understanding and recreating glioblastoma in microfluidic devices.

Jacobo gave a talk entitled “Mathematical models and computational strategies for understanding and recreating glioblastoma response in experimental platforms. From classical modelling to scientific machine learning perspectives.” in which he summarized the work developed in our group in the last years with respect to glioblastoma progression in microfluidic devices. His talk included mathematical modelling and analysis of Partial Differential Equations, the use of copulas to establish and analyse parametric models, as well as to design new experiments, and some elements of Scientific Machine Learning to unravel cell metabolic response to hypoxia.

He has also enjoyed a great week in the wonderful city of Sevilla, despite the high temperatures. He profited the opportunity to share ideas and impressions, learn new mathematical strategies and techniques and meet old friends!
