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. 

October 10, 2025. CCAM presented a poster at the International Conference on Systems Biology in Dublin, Ireland. Michael Blinov represented CCAM describing the recent advances in VCell modeling and simulation software. 

September 23, 2025. Dr. Abhijit Deb Roy was selected for the Interstellar Initiative which is a program organized by The New York Academy of Sciences (NYAS) and The Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (AMED) to promote international and interdisciplinary collaborations.

Milda Stanislauskas from the Wu lab has successfully defended her PhD thesis, titled “Investigating Mechanical Signaling in Cells Through Live Cell Imaging of Genetically Encoded Tension Sensors.” Congratulations, Dr. Stanislauskas!
