Gosia Weh
Iām 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.
š§¬ 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.
š Education & Experience
I completed M.Sc. in Mathematical Sciences from KAIST (š°š·), M.Sc.Eng. in Mathematical Modeling and Computation from DTU (š©š°), and I worked as a research assistant at the Department of Molecular and Integrative Physiology at the University of Michigan Medical School (āļø).
