DESCRIPTION:Over the past years oncolytic viruses hav
e generated much interest in cancer therapy\, main
ly due to the fact that \;once a virus is inje
cted into the patient it can actively search for c
ancer cells and destroy them. However\, the anti-t
umour \;effect of oncolytic viruses is greatly
diminished by anti-viral immune responses (both i
nnate and adaptive responses)\, as well as by phys
ical barriers inside the \;tumour. \;
Using various single-scale and multi-scale mathema
tical modelling approaches\, we will investigate t
he delicate balance between anti-viral \;and a
nti-tumour immune responses in the context of viru
s-tumour-immune interactions.
