Cell Studio
Cell Studio simulates immunological processes in interactive three-dimensional graphical environments to model and analyze immune microenvironments.
Key Features:
- Hybrid Simulation Platform: Integrates biological and biophysical rules to represent interactions within immune microenvironments.
- 3D Visualization Using Game Engines: Uses game engines to produce high-quality interactive three-dimensional visualizations of simulations.
- Scalable Architecture: Delegates computational tasks to servers to support computationally intensive simulations.
- Real-Time Data Visualization: Generates real-time graphs during simulation runs to monitor system-wide dynamic changes.
Scientific Applications:
- Immunological research: Models complex interactions in immune microenvironments to support hypothesis testing and model validation.
- In‑vitro and in‑vivo experiment simulation: Visually mimics in‑vitro and in‑vivo experiments to explore scenarios that are difficult to observe directly.
Methodology:
Simulations are created from encoded biological and biophysical rules, validated against classical models and empirical "wet" experimental data, visualized via game engines, and executed on a scalable server-based architecture.
