📣 New preprint out: "Existence and uniqueness of solutions for a random PDE-ODE model describing glioma invasion and radiotherapy".  Starting from a stochastic model for the tumor growth and invasion, accouting for the effect of radiotherapy and uncertanty, we prove the existence and uniqueness of local strong solutions. If any of it sounds interesting, have a read! 

📣 New preprint out: "Speed and stability of segregated waves in a pressure-based model of heterogeneous cell populations".  We investigate the characteristics of minimum wave speed and stability of travelling wave solutions in a minimal pressure-based model of heterogeneous cell populations. Have a read to learn more!

📣 New preprint out: "Hydrodynamic theories of chemotaxis-driven invasion in proliferating cell populations". A project in collaboration with Giulia Laura Celora (University of Bristol). We explore macroscopic limits of a kinetic model of cell invasion in proliferating populations under different asymptotic regimes to highlight the different role that proliferation has in guiding invasion of cell streams and clumps. Have a read to learn more!

Excited to share that have joined the steering committee of the UMI group "Modellistica biologica e socio-epidemiologica" (MBSE). More information about the group will be available soon. Do not hesitate to contact me if you want to be involved in our community.
