This Health Research Program opportunity is with Dr. Pedro Mendes, Center for Cell Analysis and Modeling.
Project Description: The project consists of an assessment of two different methods for modeling multicellular biological systems: full differential equation models and hybrid agent-based / differential equation models. A couple of representative models of multicellular systems (e.g. microbial communities, epithelial tissues, or connected spiking neurons) will be chosen from the literature, and models will be set up in the software COPASI for the full differential equations approach, and also in a combination of COPASI and Vivarium for the hybrid agent-based/differential equations approach. An assessment of the error introduced by the hybrid approach will be estimated by comparison with the full differential equation approach.
