August 15, 2024.  The Agmon Lab is thrilled to welcome Dr. Arnab Mutsuddy as a new postdoctoral researcher, focusing on whole-cell community modeling. Dr. Mutsuddy, who recently earned his Ph.D. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from Clemson University, brings extensive expertise in single-cell modeling, mathematical modeling, and computational biology. His prior work in the Birtwistle lab, where he developed scalable mechanistic models of cell proliferation and death signaling, positions him to make significant contributions to the lab’s research on complex biological systems.

 

11 August 2024. Dr. Blinov and Dr. Mertins from NIH have published an editorial for the special issue on “Network-based mathematical modeling in cell and developmental biology” that they organized for the Frontiers in Cell Developmantal Biology journal they edited (https://doi.org/10.3389/fcell.2024.1475005).

July 22-24, 2024.  VCell  and COPASI teams run 25th Annual Workshop on Computational Cell Biology. Nine students (one could not attend due to flights being cancelled) from Arkansas,  Connecticut, New York, Ohio, Texas and  Viginia worked with instructors for 3 days, developing their computational models. Thanks to NIH for the funding!

 

July 08, 2024. New version of COPASI released (4.44 build 295)

June 07, 2024 The Agmon Lab Modeling is partnering with Basis—a new AI and inference company—to offer a postdoctoral fellowship in whole-cell modeling. This collaboration aims to revolutionize gene function discovery using whole-cell models, blending modular simulation and probabilistic inference to automate gene curation. The fellowship offers an opportunity for groundbreaking research to enhance predictive models and advance computational biology. https://www.basis.ai/join-us/fellowships/
