Title
Master's Thesis on Mathematical Modeling of Prostate Cancer
Summary
My M.A. student is doing their thesis on the mathematical models of prostate cancer. We would like access to real-world datasets to test models from the book "Introduction to Mathematical Oncology" by Kuang, Nagy, Eikenberry. The student is expected to complete the thesis Spring 2024 and start a Ph.D. program in mathematical biology in the Fall 2024 semester.
Aims
The data will be used for model validation particular to Chapter 5 from the book mentioned on "Prostate Cancer: PSA, AR, and ADT Dynamics". Models include the Swanson, Vollmer and Humphrey, Jackson, and Ideta et al models in the textbook. We may also look at models provided in the references section at the end of the chapter.
