It covers essential concepts for understanding biological systems, including how to represent them with mathematical models and analyze their asymptotic behavior. Practical examples related to cell growth and cell interactions will be explored.<\/p>\n<p>Students will learn fundamental concepts of cancer evolution and population genetics, relating mathematical models and evolutionary theory to real data obtained from cancer patients. The course includes a practical session on building numerical schemes for ODEs and another session exploring stochastic branching processes to understand tumor-immune coevolution.<\/p>\n<p>By combining theory and practice, the course promotes active participation and collaborative learning.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:15px 0;border-width:3px;border-color:#E23A2E\"><a href=\"#\" style=\"color:#999999\">Go to top<\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icr.ac.uk\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-56\" src=\"https:\/\/eventos.cmm.uchile.cl\/mmce2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2024\/10\/logo_share-1-300x158.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"242\" height=\"127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eventos.cmm.uchile.cl\/mmce2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2024\/10\/logo_share-1-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eventos.cmm.uchile.cl\/mmce2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2024\/10\/logo_share-1-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/eventos.cmm.uchile.cl\/mmce2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2024\/10\/logo_share-1-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eventos.cmm.uchile.cl\/mmce2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2024\/10\/logo_share-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 242px) 100vw, 242px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uoh.cl\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-60\" src=\"https:\/\/eventos.cmm.uchile.cl\/mmce2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2024\/10\/loh-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"101\" height=\"101\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eventos.cmm.uchile.cl\/mmce2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2024\/10\/loh-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eventos.cmm.uchile.cl\/mmce2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2024\/10\/loh-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/eventos.cmm.uchile.cl\/mmce2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2024\/10\/loh.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 101px) 100vw, 101px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.devinci.fr\/en\/research-center\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-81\" src=\"https:\/\/eventos.cmm.uchile.cl\/mmce2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2024\/10\/Logo-DVRC-960x620-2-300x194.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"135\" height=\"87\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eventos.cmm.uchile.cl\/mmce2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2024\/10\/Logo-DVRC-960x620-2-300x194.png 300w, https:\/\/eventos.cmm.uchile.cl\/mmce2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2024\/10\/Logo-DVRC-960x620-2-768x496.png 768w, https:\/\/eventos.cmm.uchile.cl\/mmce2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2024\/10\/Logo-DVRC-960x620-2.png 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 135px) 100vw, 135px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-101\" src=\"https:\/\/eventos.cmm.uchile.cl\/mmce2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2024\/12\/CMM-25-anos-Logoblanco-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"114\" height=\"64\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eventos.cmm.uchile.cl\/mmce2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2024\/12\/CMM-25-anos-Logoblanco-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eventos.cmm.uchile.cl\/mmce2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2024\/12\/CMM-25-anos-Logoblanco-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/eventos.cmm.uchile.cl\/mmce2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2024\/12\/CMM-25-anos-Logoblanco-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eventos.cmm.uchile.cl\/mmce2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2024\/12\/CMM-25-anos-Logoblanco-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/eventos.cmm.uchile.cl\/mmce2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2024\/12\/CMM-25-anos-Logoblanco.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 114px) 100vw, 114px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teaching Team Dr. Luis Zapata Ortiz.
