About

Agent-based modeling provides a powerful framework to study complex biological systems across multiple spatial and temporal scales. As research questions in areas such as cancer immunotherapy and infectious disease modeling grow in complexity, simulation platforms must combine biological realism with computational scalability while remaining flexible enough to support evolving scientific needs.

BioDynaMo is an open-source, high-performance agent-based simulation platform that empowers researchers to generate, execute, and visualize large-scale biological simulations. Designed with a modular architecture and leveraging expertise in large-scale computing at CERN, BioDynaMo enables complex simulations while maintaining adaptability for diverse biomedical applications. This talk presents recent developments of the project and outlines future directions aimed at expanding its scientific scope and impact.
