From the ominous conclusion “there is no treatment” mentioned in the ancient Egyptian Edwyn Smith papyrus, to a remarkable recent clinical trial on rectal cancer patients using dostarlimab – where all 12 enrolled patients achieved complete remission with no recurrence for up to 25 months of follow up, our understanding of cancer and its treatment has progressed immensely over the years. Yet, the majority of cancer types remain untreatable due to eventual development of drug resistance and metastasis, and newer approaches to understanding the fundamental principles of cancer are much needed. With the advent of advanced sequencing and imaging techniques and ever-increasing resolution and throughput of current experimental technologies, mathematical and computational approaches in cancer are now witnessing a revolution. There is a rapidly increasing effort to use theoretical tools as orthogonal approaches to understand and control the evolution of this disease. Recent mathematical modelin...

This meeting is aimed at preparing a future roadmap (Vision 2047/Vision Amritkal), for the AIs under the DAE. As suggested by the Secretary DAE, the presentations will be largely thematic. The meeting will start with the presentations developed for each theme, with significant time set aside for feedback and discussions. The presentations could be updated based on this and the feedback as well as other exchange of ideas during the meeting. One day has been set aside for internal discussions/parallel sessions for the teams to update their presentations based on the feedback received. Since this is a rare opportunity for scientists from the different AIs to meet, there will also be one day devoted to presentations on the activities of each institute as well as a discussion on how to increase collaborations between the institutes. On the last day, the updated presentations will be made to the Secretary DAE and others from the DAE. ScheduleDay 1, Tuesday, 5th March 2024 (30 minute presen...
