Workshop

Together with Department of Mechanical Engineering, MIT we organize workshop Integrated Modeling and Experiments of Biological Cells and Biomaterials. It is the fourth edition of workshop series Workshop on Modelling of Biological Cells, Fluid Flow and Microfluidics. This workshop aims to bring together leading experts to explore the latest advances in understanding and manipulating biological systems at the molecular and cellular level. The workshop chairmen are Ming Dao, MIT and Ivan Cimrák.  More information HERE.

 

Past workshops

We organized 3rd Workshop on Modelling of Biological Cells, Fluid Flow and Microfluidics, 9. – 13. February 2020, Vratna, Slovakia. This workshop aims to bring together the users of PyOIF and experts in cell modelling and microfluidics. More information HERE.

 

PyOIF

We developed a python module in ESPResSo software package for simulating elastic objects (e.g. cells) immersed in a fluid. Fast computational core, user-friendly python scripting interface, detailed documentation supplemented with a book on blood flow modelling – all this is PyOIF.

 

Research

One sentence introduction: To help those believing in power of computational models (biologists, applied mathematicians and physicists, biomedics, data scientists), we develop cell models based on biomechanics and neural networks, we analyse them, and we use them for computer-aided research.
