The 26th Annual CompCellBio workshop

2025-03-25T22:34:25+00:00 February 28th, 2025|News|

2025-02-28. The 26th Computational Cell Biology workshop took place ONLINE for the 5 days, February 24-28th. Cell biologists and biophysicists leaned how to use VCell (https://vcell.org/) and SpringSalad (https://vcell.org/ssalad) software to develop spatial and non-spatial models using deterministic, stochastic, agent- and rule-based approaches.

The course included introductions to VCell, COPASI, and SpringSaLaD, presented by their developers and by modelers. Some participants participated in one-on-one sessions with experienced […]
