I am looking into potentially submitting a proposal for a CZI grant
for SymPy at some point in the future. However, in order to do this,
we need to demonstrate that SymPy is used in biology or biomedicine.

If anyone is aware of people or libraries that make use of SymPy in a
bio field, please let me know about it.

Hello Aaron,

AMICI (https://github.com/ICB-DCM/AMICI) uses Sympy, for example for importing SBML (Systems Biology Markup Language). AMICI is often used in conjunction with PESTO (https://github.com/ICB-DCM/pyPESTO) for parameter estimation of biological models using differential equations. One such project is CanPathPro (http://www.canpathpro.eu/). If you want to go deeper, I suggest contacting Fabian Fröhlich at Harvard or Daniel Weindl at Helmholtz.
