Computational Methods
We develop computational methods for the modeling and simulation of signalling networks, cell-based tissue simulations, image processing and image-based modelling.
Cell-based Tissue Simulation Framework
We have developed LBIBCell, PolyHoop and SimuCell3D (all C++-based) to simulate tissue development in 2D and 3D at cellular resolution.
