We are excited to announce that the Collection on Mathematical Oncology in Scientific Reports is now accepting submissions (submission deadline: December 2, 2023)

Mathematical oncology aims to contribute to a better understanding of cancer initiation, progression, and treatment, through the integration and application of mathematical models and simulations. Modelling cancer has become more feasible in recent decades, due to a combination of theoretical and technical advances, ever-expanding computational power, and a growing wealth of both experimental and clinical data. Mathematical models can be used to simulate tumour growth both forwards and backwards in time, and in response to treatments, improve our knowledge of individual cell behaviour, identify key features from complex data sets and clinical imaging, and ultimately develop patient-specific therapies and personalized medicine.

This Collection offers a platform for original contributions on mathematical oncology, from methodological advancements to applied clinical research, including integrative and multidisciplinary studies.

Guest Editors of this Collection will be:

• Marek Kimmel: Professor of Statistics at Rice University
• Francisco Rodrigues Pinto: Assistant Professor of Biochemistry, University of Lisbon
• Byung-Jun Yoon: Associate Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University
