Abstract:
I am Ivan Krasnyakov, a senior lecturer at the Department of Applied Physics at Perm National Research Polytechnic University. I hold a degree of Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences. My main area of research revolves around the biophysics of multicellular tissues. One of my initial research projects focused on creating a mathematical model to understand the growth of carcinoma. What intrigued me was the fresh perspective from clinical medicine researchers regarding the spatial structure of tumors. It was discovered that tumors display cellular heterogeneity and undergo self-organization, forming diverse architectural patterns during their development. At the moment, I continue to develop our model.
