VCell and COPASI were presented at HARMONY 2024 (https://co.mbine.org/author/harmony-2024/) at University College London. Michael Blinov gave a tutorial on VCell, while Frank Bergman (one of COPASI developers) talked about the web version of COPASI running through JavaScript.  Other topics discussed include interoperability of multiple standards like SBML, SED-ML and COMBINE archive supported by both VCell and COPASI.

13 March 2024. Kshitiz lab has published a manuscript on “Lactate in breast cancer cells is associated with evasion of hypoxia-induced cell cycle arrest and adverse patient outcome”, https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13577-024-01046-1

 

VCell, COPASI and SpringSalad were taught and used for projects at the  25th Annual Computational Cell Biology (CCB) workshop that took place online February 26-28th.  The invited talks were given by Yulia Timofeeva (University of Warwick), James P Sluka (Indiana University) and Kevin Janes (University of Virginia). Sixteen participants were selected to work with VCell and COPASI instructors on their projects, and eight gave presentations on their projects at the Modeling Symposium.
