Abstract (Expand)

Cancer is one of the leading causes of disease-related death worldwide. In recent years, large amounts of data on cancer genetics and molecular characteristics have become available and accumulated with increasing speed. However, the current understanding of cancer as a disease is still limited by the lack of suitable models that allow interpreting these data in proper ways. Thus, the highly interdisciplinary research field of mathematical oncology has evolved to use mathematics, modeling, and simulations to study cancer with the overall goal to improve clinical patient care. This dissertation aims at developing mathematical models and tools for different spatial scales of cancer development at the example of colorectal cancer in Lynch syndrome, the most common inherited colorectal cancer predisposition syndrome. We derive model-driven approaches for carcinogenesis at the DNA, cell, and crypt level, as well as data-driven methods for cancer-immune interactions at the DNA level and for the evaluation of diagnostic procedures at the Lynch syndrome population level. The developed models present an important step toward an improved understanding of hereditary cancer as a disease aiming at rapid implementation into clinical management guidelines and into the development of novel, innovative approaches for prevention and treatment.

Abstract (Expand)

Open and practical exchange, dissemination, and reuse of specimens and data have become a fundamental requirement for life sciences research. The quality of the data obtained and thus the findings and knowledge derived is thus significantly influenced by the quality of the samples, the experimental methods, and the data analysis. Therefore, a comprehensive and precise documentation of the pre-analytical conditions, the analytical procedures, and the data processing are essential to be able to assess the validity of the research results. With the increasing importance of the exchange, reuse, and sharing of data and samples, procedures are required that enable cross-organizational documentation, traceability, and non-repudiation. At present, this information on the provenance of samples and data is mostly either sparse, incomplete, or incoherent. Since there is no uniform framework, this information is usually only provided within the organization and not interoperably. At the same time, the collection and sharing of biological and environmental specimens increasingly require definition and documentation of benefit sharing and compliance to regulatory requirements rather than consideration of pure scientific needs. In this publication, we present an ongoing standardization effort to provide trustworthy machine-actionable documentation of the data lineage and specimens. We would like to invite experts from the biotechnology and biomedical fields to further contribute to the standard.
