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 ...

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 - Building the future today (workshop hosted by the SCImPULSE Foundation and the Italian Society of Telemedicine)

Image
 On March 11th 2023, we had the pleasure of meeting the community of Italian doctors and researchers behind the Italian Society of Telemedicine  ( a scientific Society accredited at the Italian Ministry of Health , and thus in the capacity of emanating guidelines, with some legally binding authority attached, around the practices of digital medicine) In Bologna the weather was splendid, and nevertheless the venue has been constantly full and bustling, a testament to the interest provoked by the scientific program overall It's been refreshing to meet such a diverse community of practitioners, and to discuss with them about the opportunities and pitfalls of the quickly evolving European ecosystem around digital health. So many interesting and provoking ideas have been shared and discussed, about familial application scenarios (accelerating novel medical device engineering, like organs-on-chip and hybrid personalized organoids), and some that we hadn't thought about yet (plannin...
