A week ago, I attended an excellent angiogenesis workshop at UCLA. I learned a lot about the biology of hypoxia and tumor-induced angiogenesis. Because Steven McDougall and Sandy Anderson were there, it was an excellent opportunity to work on our joint tumor-angiogenesis project, and we made some good progress!

I also met some exciting people, like Mark Sussman (ghost fluid method/CFD), Peter Smereka, Stan Osher (level set co-inventor), and Philip Hahnfeldt and Lynn Hlatky, who recently started an exciting Cancer Systems Biology Program at Tufts University Medical School. I was really excited to get to meet these wonderful people, and it really makes me look forward to future workshops!
