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 ,...

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...
