Our Bioengineering Research Partnership (BRP) is motivated by the following three hypotheses:

1. malignant brain tumors behave as complex dynamic biosystems;
2. these tumor systems invade according to the principle of "least resistance, most permission and highest attraction";
   
3. their spatio-temporal behavior can be simulated and predicted using a set of innovative computational models, which are based on in vitro, in vivo and human data. For this challenging task, our BRP-Team uses an interdisciplinary approach combining cancer research, bioengineering, statistical physics, materials science, biomedical imaging, mathematical biology, computational and complex systems science.
