Agent-based modelling to simulate cell- and multiscale problems in biology - Minisymposium at ECCOMAS 2024
Our Technical Coordinator, Vasileios Vavourakis , and our Spokesperson, Roman Bauer , together with Mariam-Eleni Oraiopoulou , Arnau Montagud , Marco Manca , and Alfonso Caiazzo , are the organizers of the minisymposium " agent-based modelling to simulate cell- and multiscale problems in biology " , at ECCOMAS, 3rd-7th June 2024, in Lisbon (Portugal) . The purpose of this minisymposium is to act as a forum for investigators to present the state of the art in ABM in biology and life sciences, with a focus on pathophysiology of chronic (e.g., neuro-developmental and neurodegenerative disorders, cancer, diabetes, chronic inflammation) and communicable diseases (viral infections, parasitic disorders, etc.). Together, we aim to foster the exchange of knowledge and ideas across multiple disciplines: mathematics, physics, computer science, engineering, biology, medicine. We welcome contributions addressing challenges related to mathematical and computational modelling using ABM with
