Connecting the Dots: A new lymph node station in lung cancer?
http://cancerconnector.blogspot.com/2014/08/a-new-lymph-node-station-in-lung-cancer.html
Saturday, August 30, 2014. A new lymph node station in lung cancer? Earlier this week in our morning didactics session we had an interesting discussion about advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Now, there is certainly a LOT to discuss about advanced stage NSCLC, and there is a lot of uncertainty in how to treat it with the multitude of new targetted agents coming on the market for mutations like ALK. N-RAS, BRAF, EGFR. One thing that hasn't changed, and never will (? Please direct your att...

Connecting the Dots: Re-entry into the clinic and my first evolution paper!
http://cancerconnector.blogspot.com/2014/08/re-entry-into-clinic-and-my-first.html
Saturday, August 2, 2014. Re-entry into the clinic and my first evolution paper! Sorry for the long radio silence - I re-entered my residency after a 3 year hiatus to pursue full time research and things have been busier than anticipated. While I am on a light rotation (sarcoma), which requires only 50% of my time actually in clinic, I had forgotten what being a #resident is like, and more importantly, what having a pager is like! Site, as well as a journal (contemporaneously), which you can find here:.

Connecting the Dots: June 2014

Thursday, June 26, 2014. Impact of vascular patterning on radiation response - contributed talk from ECMTB 2014. So - I meant to try to use Camtasia Studio. To record my voice during this talk, which would have made following along much easier, but somehow, the meeting was so chock-a-block with content and excellent social outings, that I failed to download and sort it out. Next time. For now, here is a short presentation that I gave as a contributed talk at #ECMTB2014 in Goteborg. Which we published here.

Connecting the Dots: Update to 'My Sarcoma' project
http://cancerconnector.blogspot.com/2013/05/update-to-my-sarcoma-project.html
Friday, May 24, 2013. Update to 'My Sarcoma' project. A few weeks ago I posted about my friend and neighbor, Ray Paul's battle with Sarcoma and his amazing response to it. To create art using histologic images of his own tumor. Ray finished the first painting in the series and entered it into a contest, and it won! You can see the contest - and Ray's finished painting, at the ArtSlant Competition website,. And here it is as well:. As an aside, the TEDMED blog also ran a piece. Group at the Moffitt Cancer...

Random walks in a biological world. Tuesday, 11 August 2015. Video: Squirrels, Cancers, and other Invaders. Recently, at the Isaac Newton Institute's program on Coupling Geometric PDEs with Physics for Cell Morphology, Motility and Pattern Formation. Our very own Professor Philip Maini, FRS, gave another one of his classic talks, featuring (almost) everything from squirrels to cancer, including the admission of crying and how to cope with it ( spoiler. The talk was cleverly titled: ". Watch the video here.

WCMBlog: Ebola Crisis Hackathon
http://wcmb-oxford.blogspot.com/2014/11/ebola-crisis-hackathon.html
Random walks in a biological world. Monday, 24 November 2014. The Ebola Virus has killed almost 6000 people in West Africa since Dec 2013. It was with these obstacles in mind that the Said Business School's Oxford Launchpad. While researching the problems around the diagnosis and treatment of Ebola, before the hackathon, I read about the potential for Ebola to be diagnosed using mobile apps. Mobile phones are a primary communication method in West Africa. On the Hackathon in last week's New Scientist.

Friday, November 14, 2014. Mathematical Oncology: an introduction given at a Moffitt Cancer Center Radiation Oncology CME conference. My hope is to spread awareness of mathematical oncology, but also to lure some clever folks across the street from the clinic to the laboratory! There are a host of great talks going on, many of which have their slides on line (I've been told) on topics as broad as #proton therapy, #StereotacticBodyRadiation, #cyberknife, #radiation toxicity, #HIV and cancer and more.
