To know what we know: from the science of emergence, to BioDynaMo

   NetBioMed , a satellite of the NetSci conference , in their own words brings together researchers on Machine Learning, Digital Twins and Complex Systems towards solving problems in biology and medicine . On June the 2nd 2025  Dr Marco Manca  (President of SCImPULSE Foundation ) has joined friends and colleagues from around the world to discuss the epistemology of life sciences. In an intense half an hour talk, Dr Manca has lead the audience through a brief history of delusions in medical knowledge, to immediately focus on the processes and pitfalls of building human knowledge, the impact of assumptions (dscussing the case of ergodicity assumptions) and models on measurements (and thus, on data). He discussed the pros and cons of machine learning and the limitations of the aspiration to extract "objective knowledge" from data, or even dependable knowledge, because of the very founding principles on which ML as we have it today works. He then mo...

Skin in the game: a review of computational models of the skin

Image
 Our new paper on computational modelling and AI in dermatology , published with an outstanding team of collaborators from five countries 🌍 . This review explores how in silico approaches – from data-driven methods to model-based simulations – are transforming dermatology by offering new insights into skin biology, disease mechanisms, and therapeutic strategies.  We highlight advances such as virtual skin models, skin-on-chip devices, and computational tools for surgical planning, while also discussing the challenges that remain around data, validation, and interdisciplinary collaboration.  Excited about the opportunities this growing field holds for biomedical research and clinical innovation!  Thanks to the European NETSKINMODELS COST Action for making this collaboration possible!   Read the manuscript ( it's open access of course ! ) and discover our stellar authors' team by clicking on their names to open their profiles Ceylan S , Demir D , Harris C ,...

Surrey University's Combyne Lab gave a BioDynaMo tutorial during the (COST Action) NETSKINMODELS' training school

Image
On July 10-12, 2023 at the University of Surrey (Guildford, England, UK) , the COST action CA21108 European Network for Skin Engineering and Modeling (NETSKINMODELS) held its Training School 2023 Advancing skills in 3D skin and epidermal biology computer modelling  ( intended for PhD students and post-doc level researchers with at least preliminary programming skills and an excellent command in digital literacy ). The COMBYNE Lab was there.  Roman Bauer , Umar Abubacar , and Cayla Harris offered an introductory tutorial about BioDynaMo and the advantages that adopting a standardized and optimized general purpose agent based simulation suite can produce for the reproducibility and reusability of models and research. Following you can find the slides and transcript of a portion of the tutorial, kindly shared by COMBYNE Lab 's PhD student and BioDynaMo contributor Cayla Harris . We hope you find it interesting and useful (and don't hesitate to get in touch wit...
