BioDynaMo collaboration

 We are very excited to announce that our scientific dream team ( Nicolò Cogno , Cristian Axenie ,  Roman Bauer , and Vasileios Vavourakis ) have published a masterpiece review on the topic of " Agent-based modeling in cancer biomedicine: applications and tools for calibration and validation "  They focused on collecting and organizing relevant literature exploring strategies to leverage high-fidelity simulations of multi-scale, or multi-level, cancer models with a focus on verification approached as simulation calibration. The review then culminates in an outline of modern approaches for agent-based models’ validation providing an ambitious outlook toward rigorous and reliable calibration.

Would you like to conduct fundamental and/or applied research on “Brain Neuronal Networks Development via Multiscale Agent-based Modelling"? Don't miss this "Special Scientist - Post-Graduate Researcher (Research Assistant)" vacancy at the University of Cyprus, funded by the Foresight Institute   A great opportunity to join the # BioDynaMo team and work with Roman Bauer and Vasileios Vavourakis Project description : In this project, REASON, we will demonstrate an innovative computational approach to model and emulate biological NNs: rather than directly modelling a brain with all its complexity, we will model NN development from a single precursor cell. In other words, by leveraging the same approach that nature uses to build brains, we aim to reproduce challenging neural complexities. Inspired by the biological brain, we will make use of developmental rules that are encoded in a gene-type manner. For instance, a rule could be that a given neural stem cell should
