Talk Title: Applying computational systems biology to predict tumor angiogenesis signaling

Series: Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at USC Distinguished Speakers Series

Abstract: Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, enables tumors to obtain oxygen and nutrients from the surrounding microenvironment, promoting tumor growth. Both promoters and inhibitors of angiogenesis contribute to the response to anti-angiogenic cancer therapies; however, there is no quantitative framework that enables investigation of angiogenic factors together in tumor tissue. This presentation will discuss our ongoing work to construct predictive models of key factors involved in regulating tumor angiogenesis. The models provide a tool with which to study the response to anti-angiogenic therapies for a range of tumor types.
