Mathematical modeling for the improvement of cellular immunotherapies and radiopharmaceutical treatments.

2025-2028

Our goal is to develop mechanistic digital twins that simulate the response to advanced therapies and optimize their clinical application in two areas of high current relevance: radiopharmaceuticals and CAR T-cell immunotherapies. Although these therapies differ in their clinical administration, they share common challenges from a mathematical modeling perspective, such as predicting efficacy, characterizing toxicity, and understanding the emergence of resistance.

Why Mathematics?

Mathematical methods are fundamental in the development and operation of digital twins, as they allow modeling, simulating and analyzing complex behaviors of biological systems.

The Team

Team members include Víctor M. Pérez-García, Juan Belmonte Beitia, Gabriel F. Calvo (full professors), Ignacio Ramís-Conde, Julián Pérez Beteta, David Molina García, Philipp M. Getto (associate professors), Mariia Soloviova (assistant professor) and Pablo Sanz Galarreta (PhD student)

 

Beyond this project

Mathematical models will be used to develop in-silico studies and find optimal treatment schedules improving patient survival and delaying the onset of resistance to targeted therapies, either radiopharmaceutical or CAR T-based.
