DESCRIPTION:<i><span>Over the past years oncolytic viruses have generated 
 much interest in cancer therapy\, mainly due to the fact that&nbsp\;once a
  virus is injected into the patient it can actively search for cancer cell
 s and destroy them. However\, the anti-tumour&nbsp\;effect of oncolytic vi
 ruses is greatly diminished by anti-viral immune responses (both innate an
 d adaptive responses)\, as well as by physical barriers inside the&nbsp\;t
 umour.&nbsp\;<br> Using various single-scale and multi-scale mathematical 
 modelling approaches\, we will investigate the delicate balance between an
 ti-viral&nbsp\;and anti-tumour immune responses in the context of virus-tu
 mour-immune interactions.</span></i><br><br><br><br><br>
