This thesis presents two mathematical models that aim to support biological researchers in the fight against cancer. They are based on biological phenomena observed by researchers at the Ontario Veterinary College (OVC). The first models interactions of cytokines during a fatal cytokine storm, while the second models effects of combining an oncolytic virus and an epigenetic modifier.

Networks and combinatorial graphs are commonly used in a wide variety of types of mathematical modelling to represent structures such as contact networks in epidemiology, road networks in urban planning, and scheduling conflicts.
