Multicellular Modeling Seminar with T.J. Sego and James Glazier
Hunter Robbins
The Center for Reproducible Biomedical Modeling would like to invite you to participate in our seminar "Multiscale Multicellular Modeling: Challenges and Opportunities" on December 1st. We will hear from T.J. Sego of the University of Florida, and James Glazier of Indiana University about multi-cell simulation.
Seminar Details:
Speaker: T.J. Sego, Assistant Professor, University of Florida
Title: Multiscale Multicellular Modeling: Current Challenges and Future Directions
Bio: Dr. Sego’s overarching research seeks to build and enable informative and predictive mathematical and computational models of complex biological systems. Dr. Sego’s basic research interests focus on the coordination and action of the human immune response to viral infections, especially in the context of spatially resolved, dynamic multicellular systems and lung epithelial and endothelial tissues. Dr. Sego uses computational models to elucidate the mechanisms of tissue-, organ- and organism-level host-pathogen interactions in terms of individual cells, and likewise to describe the properties, processes and interactions of those cells in terms of subcellular states. Dr. Sego leverages his multidisciplinary background and experience leading model-based biological and biomedical research to develop technologies targeting multicellular, agent-based and multiscale simulation tools, interactive and high-performance simulation, and collaborative and community-driven research projects.

Speaker: James Glazier, Professor, Indiana University
Title: Multi-Scale Multicellular Agent-Based Virtual-Tissue Simulations: Challenges and Opportunities in Sharable Model Specification
Bio: Dr. Glazier is a biophysicist known for his contributions to the field of multiscale modeling, pattern formation, and morphogenesis in biological systems. He is a co-inventor of the Cellular Potts Model (CPM, also known as the Glazier-Graner-Hogeweg model) formalism for simulating the dynamics of cells in biological tissues. Dr. Glazier has been influential in promoting the use of computational modeling and simulation in the study of complex biological phenomena. He moved to the Department of Physics at Indiana University in 2002, where he established the Biocomplexity Institute to advance the interdisciplinary study of biological systems.
