Virtual-tissue computer simulations

Speaker: Maciej Swat

Abstract:

Virtual-Tissue (VT) simulations are increasingly important tools for understanding how complex multi-scale interactions among biochemical networks, cells, microenvironments, tissues, organs and the whole-body result in normal or disease processes. Understanding cells in the proper spatiotemporal environment is crucial because a cell behavior is a function of its environment.
