Biomedical Simulation

Cells converse with other cells via sending proteins signals. On a micro-scale many cells form functional compounds and integrate into complex structures often embedded in a matrix. The proteins in turn are regulated by genes, which may be regulated by macroscopic factors like mechanical stimuli. The cell is a typical example where the micro and macro world are closely intertwined. It is our mission to better understand these complex interactions.
