    While it’s impossible to predict how this fall semester will go, PICS has put together a full roster of virtual events to get us through the semester. Below is just some of what we will be offering. Katie will be sending out more information, including the Zoom details, for each of these events. We hope to…

  • Online Seminar: Open source multicellular systems modeling for cancer (and COVID-19)

    On Monday May 4 at 2 PM EST, PICS will be hosting a Virtual Joint Seminar with Bioengineering and PSOC Title :Open source multicellular systems modeling for cancer (and COVID-19) Abstract:Cancer and other critical human health problems are inherently multiscale: molecular-scale processes such as receptor trafficking and metabolism drive cell-scale processes such as cycling and motility. Biophysical processes like diffusion and tissue mechanics…
