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 ,...

 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...

PhD Studentship: AI-assisted design of cryoprotective agents

 Interested in AI and biology? Then this PhD studentship could be for you! Thousands of donated organs are discarded each year because current preservation methods allow storage for only a few hours. Cryopreservation at ultra-low temperatures offers the prospect of long-term organ banking, but its application to large tissues and organs is limited by ice crystal formation and the toxicity of existing cryoprotective agents (CPAs). Overcoming these challenges is a major unmet need in biomedicine. This interdisciplinary PhD project aims to develop AI-driven approaches to discover safer and more effective CPAs by integrating machine learning, computational modelling, and experimental validation. The successful candidate will receive training in both computational and experimental biology within a highly collaborative research environment. The project will begin with the construction of a curated database from the literature, capturing known CPAs, their properties, concentrations, and ...
