Objectives

Transdisciplinary Conference “Physics of Cancer: Mechanobiology, Multiscale Data Analysis and Clinical Application” is organized in the development of Trilateral Russia-Germany-France Workshop “Oncology: on the Frontiers of Molecular Genetics, Biophysics and Medicine, June 5-8, 2012, Perm, Russia” and has the aim to gather researchers working in the fields of physics of cancer, biophysics and medicine to discuss the challenging approaches for the cancer risk estimation.
Cancer has been shown to be related to genetic mutations that could facilitate cellular escape from homeostatic tissular control. The subsequent growth and progression of a tumor is an inherently multiscale process. At the sub-cellular level, despite the fact that the nucleus is one of the most important components of the cell, little is known about the contribution of the nuclear shape and size to the mechanical regulation of the genome function. The physical coupling between chromatin assembly and various nuclear and cytoplasmic scaffolds remains poorly understood. Conception of mechanobiology will be applied to the study of physical factors involved in the process of mechanotransduction, as the ability to sense the forces and physical environment at the scales of cells and tissue. Mechanobiology, based on multi-disciplinary expertise including molecular, cell and tissue biology, mathematics, computational modeling, physics, physical chemistry and engineering, can thus help understanding mechanical functions across molecular, cellular and tissue levels. Among the key issues that will be addressed in this workshop, special focus will be on modern methods of spatio-temporal analysis of various biological and medical signals including those issued from molecular-genetic studies, mammography and infrared data, as well as images from different microscopy devices (e.g. confocal microscopy, AFM, SEM, SSPM). Concepts, methodologies, numerical and experimental techniques coming from statistical mechanics and nonlinear physics combined with multi-scale signal processing will be discussed with the specific goal to establish some structural (mechanical) correlation with clinic stages of tumor progression and marker risk estimation.
