We are happy to announce the promotions of two of our faculty members: Dr. Eran Agmon is now an Associate Professor with tenure, and Dr. Michael Guertin is now a full Professor. Congratulations to Dr. Agmon and Dr. Guertin on their achievements! We also thank all their lab members, who have been making excellent contributions to their research groups.

June 3, 2026. The 28th annual Computational Cell Biology workshop took place at the Center for Cell Analysis and Modeling on June 1-3. Eight participants from different US universities (John Hopkins, Purdue, University of Tennessee, University of Connecticut) came for three days to learn VCell, COPASI and SpringSaLaD and develop projects under the guidance of our modelers.

March 20, 2026. The 27th annual Computational Cell Biology workshop took place online over the 5 days March 16-20. Over 30 participants from all over the world attended lectures on COPASI, VCell, and SpringSaLaD techniques, with a group of 7 students working on individual projects.

March 19, 2026. The Deb Roy lab published an article in the Journal of Cell Biology examining molecular crosstalk between microtubule modifications and actin network in migrating cells.

December 10, 2025. CCAM team presented several talks at the American Society of Cell Biology Annual Meeting 2025 in Philaderplphia. On Sunday, December 7th, Michael Blinov together with James Faeder (UPitt) and Margaret Johnson (JHU)  presented rule-base modeling methods for Biophysical Modeling of the Cell, including VCell. On Monday, December 8th, Pedro Mendes, Leslie Loew, Ion Moraru, and Michael Blinov presented various modeling techniques  using COPASI and VCell during the workshop on
Mathematical Modeling for Cell Biology.
