This session will highlight engineering approaches to problems in cancer, cardiovascular and other diseases. Emphasis will be on studies of transport, cell and tissue mechanics, heat transfer, and kinetics applied specifically to the areas of tumor biology, metastasis, and the circulation. Topics may span length-scales from molecular to organismal physiology, involving computational and/or experimental methods. Sample topics include: - angiogenesis - atherosclerosis - cancer cell adhesion and migration - cancer cell signaling - intracellular metabolism - diabetes - gene therapies – novel therapeutic strategies - ischemia / reperfusion injury - models of tumor development - sickle cell disease - thrombosis/fibrinolysis - tumor pharmacokinetics and drug delivery.
