This summer school is designed to take beginner and intermediate level modelers [...]
Applications for the 2022 PhysiCell workshop/hackathon are now OPEN! This virtual course will teach concepts of agent-based biological simulations, through our open-source PhysiCell package. Sessions include integrating intracellular models, such as Boolean networks, systems of reactions (SBML), flux balance models, and pre-trained deep neural network surrogate models. The organizers also plan to introduce a new [...]
The Center's first biannual newsletter is now available! The newsletter describes the CRBM's recent progress in the creation of new tools, its outreach efforts to the larger community, as well as ongoing partnerships with journals for more reproducible science. It also features Dr. Lucian Smith, one of the main authors behind SED-ML and parody [...]
