Glioblastoma, or brain cancer, afflicts one out of four people with cancer. In our project, we are constructing an in-silico brain cell in order to help provide an accurate diagnosis and help with the prognosis of glioblastoma.
There are a variety of possibilities for an intern to help with the project based on their scientific interests: Computer programming the cell to evolve, stochastic modeling of biological cellular processes or statistical analysis of the resulting data are among possible areas for student projects.
