BioDynaMo in 2024 - End of the year remarks, and Holidays greetings

Image
Dear all,  as we are approaching the end of 2024, we would like to take a moment to reflect on our collaborative achievements within the BioDynaMo community. It has been a year marked by innovation, resilience, and shared commitment to advancing our understanding of various biological systems through innovative computational modelling. This year, the consortium had several important successes. We would like to specifically mention/highlight: The paper presenting BioDynaMo’s application to cancer treatment. Radiation-induced fibrosis is a major risk factor in radiotherapy for lung cancer patients. BioDynaMo members including our Nicolo as first author published in the very prestigious Nature Communications Medicine journal, showing how BioDynaMo can be used to simulate the impact of radiation on the lung on a single cell level. Such modelling can be used to improve radiotherapy: https://www.nature.com/articles/s43856-024-00442-w Also in the domain of oncology, a study leve...

BioDynaMo @ Foresight Institute

Image
 Our spokesperson  Dr Bauer 's research focusses on the computational modelling and analysis of biological dynamics, in particular those of the brain. His highly interdisciplinary research involves modern computing approaches, biological expertise, innovative machine learning methods and IT- related collaboration, as we know. As you probably remember, Dr Bauer has been a 2024 Fellow of the Foresight Institute  and thus, he has had the opportunity to share his reflections about computational biology with a wider audience of brilliant people. Here we share two of his recent interviews/lectures, of course on topics we hold very dear. 1) Computational Modeling in Biomedicine: With the Eggs in Multiple Baskets Abstract :  Computational modeling is one of the pillars of the scientific method. Unsurprisingly, it has also become paramount for biomedical research when it entails various data modalities and numerous biological, physical and chemical processes. Moreover, t...

Modelling lung cells to personalize radiotherapy (with BioDynaMo) among the Top 10 Breakthroughs of the Year in physics for 2024!

Image
 Last December the 12th Physics World has delighted announced its Top 10 Breakthroughs of the Year for 2024, which includes research in nuclear and medical physics, quantum computing, lasers, antimatter and (of course ^_^) BioDynaMo . The Top Ten is the shortlist for the Physics World Breakthrough of the Year, which will be revealed on Thursday 19 December. PhysicsWorld editorial team has looked back at all the scientific discoveries reported on since 1 January and has picked 10 they judge are the most important. In addition to being reported in Physics World in 2024, the breakthroughs must meet the following criteria:  Significant advance in knowledge or understanding Importance of work for scientific progress and/or development of real-world applications Of general interest to Physics World readers  You can listen to the editors making their case for the research in the Top10 in this podcast What do they say about the BioDynaMo research they selected: <<Modelling...
