Scientists Meet Scientists – TUM-IAS Wednesday Coffee Talk by Dr. Silvia Hervás Raluy "Accelerating cancer research: How computational models and experiments work together"
Events, WCT |

On 18 June 2025, Dr. Silvia Hervás Raluy from the TUM Chair of Computational Mechanics will talk about “Accelerating cancer research: How computational models and experiments work together”.
Abstract: Despite advances in cancer therapy, the global burden of cancer continues to rise. Personalized immunotherapy has shown remarkable success in hematological malignancies, yet its efficacy in solid tumors remains limited. Experimental research alone cannot explore all possible therapeutic scenarios, but computational modeling offers a powerful tool for systematic and efficient investigation. We develop a multiscale-informed physics-based computational model to optimize immunotherapy through a feedback loop of computational prediction and experimental verification. This approach enables comprehensive parameter exploration and transport process optimization.

THE TUM-IAS WEDNESDAY COFFEE TALKS
Every Wednesday after lunch, it's all about a new topic - current research highlights at TUM, insights into the work of our Fellows from all over the world, sometimes even topics not usually found at TUM, such as history or theology.
The talks held online start every Wednesday during TUM lecture time at 13:00 CE(S)T. Everyone is welcome - TUM researchers of all levels, students, visiting scholars, and anyone interested!
Each final Wednesday of the month, a topic related to the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals will be featured as a part of the Seminar Series of European Universities on Sustainability, a new initiative of the TUM-IAS in partnership with universities across Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe.
