Agent-based modeling in cancer biomedicine: applications and tools for calibration and validation

 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.

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 (planning

End-of-2023 message and Season's greetings

  Dear all,  As we are approaching the end of 2023, we would like to take the opportunity to briefly reflect on this year and the future.  This year, we had several crucial successes. We would like to specifically mention/highlight: The paper presenting BioDynaMo’s exceptional performance was published in the Proceedings of the 28th ACM SIGPLAN Annual Symposium on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming. The work provides an impressive evaluation when considering also other well-established software: https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3572848.3577480 The first neuroscientific paper using BioDynaMo was published in the prestigious journal Royal Society Open Biology, by previous BioDynaMo member Dr Jean de Montigny as first author:  https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rsob.220217 We organised three international, hybrid meetings that included speakers talking about BioDynaMo and its applications (see for instance https://www.combynelab.com/home/news/cambi2023 ).
