Abstract:
Over the past years oncolytic viruses have
generated much interest in cancer therapy, mainly due to the fact
that once a virus is injected into the patient it can actively search for
cancer cells and destroy them. However, the anti-tumour effect of
oncolytic viruses is greatly diminished by anti-viral immune responses (both
innate and adaptive responses), as well as by physical barriers inside
the tumour.
Using various single-scale and multi-scale mathematical modelling approaches, we will investigate the delicate balance between anti-viral and anti-tumour immune responses in the context of virus-tumour-immune interactions.
