About Evolutionary Immunogenomics Lab
Our History
Evilab, a young and dynamic research laboratory, was founded in 2023 under the pioneering leadership of Dr. Luis Zapata Ortiz, an expert in the field of Evolutionary Immunogenomics. Our team specializes in mathematical modeling, evolutionary theory, population genetics, and computational biology, collectively positioning us at the forefront of research in these areas. Together, We are committed to advancing scientific knowledge and making significant contributions to the field.
Our Team
Our team of scientists, technicians, and support staff are passionate about their work and dedicated to provide profesional services. We believe in continuous learning and development to ensure we stay up-to-date with the latest technologies and techniques.

Summer Course: Mathematical Modelling and Cancer Evolution
Master the art of mathematical modeling and data science in tumor evolution with this advanced course. Learn how to represent complex biological systems with mathematical models and analyze their long-term behavior. We’ll explore real-life examples of cell growth and interactions that shape our understanding of cancer.
Delve into the fundamental principles of cancer evolution and population genetics, and discover how mathematical models and evolutionary theory can be applied to real-world cancer patient data. In our hands-on sessions, you’ll develop numerical schemes for ordinary differential equations and uncover the secrets of stochastic branching processes in tumor-immune coevolution.
Through a unique blend of theoretical foundations and practical exercises, this course fosters active participation, collaboration, and critical thinking.
The course is aimed at final year undergraduate students, and master’s and doctoral students.
Organized by The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) and the Center for Mathematical Modeling (CMM) of the University of Chile (Jan 6th-16th 2025) .
