Gosia Weh

Iā€™m a Ph.D. Candidate at the Department of Integrated Mathematical Oncology at H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute & University of South Florida. I aim to understand the impact of evolvability on cancer progression under the supervision of Dr. David Basanta and Dr. Andriy Marusyk.

šŸ§¬ Research focus

I research the evolvability of cancer cells ā€“ how the diversification and selection shape the evolution of specific cancer phenotypes. Specifically, I am interested in:

  • Understanding how evolvability shapes the evolution of cancer treatment resistance,
  • Learning how to harness evolvability to prevent further disease development,
  • Translating the outcomes of the cancer evolution research to clinical practice. I primarily use mathematical modeling for my research. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of my research, I am actively collaborating with experimental biologists (and hopefully clinicians in the future).

See the Research for an in-depth description of my scientific interests and Publications for the work I completed.

šŸŽ“ Education & Experience

I completed M.Sc. in Mathematical Sciences from KAIST (šŸ‡°šŸ‡·), M.Sc.Eng. in Mathematical Modeling and Computation from DTU (šŸ‡©šŸ‡°), and I worked as a research assistant at the Department of Molecular and Integrative Physiology at the University of Michigan Medical School (ā„ļø).
