23rd Annual Workshop on Computational Cell Biology

(05-25-22) The 23rd Computational Cell Biology Workshop took place at R. D. Berlin Center for Cell Analysis and Modeling (CCAM) on May 23-25th. For 3 days, more than 40 online participants learned how to use VCell, COPASI and SpringSalad software tools for modeling of cell biology systems. 16 participants participated in the “project track”, working individually with CCAM staff on developing their modeling projects.

COPASI 4.36 (Build 260) Released

(05-16-22) A new stable release of COPASI, 4.36 (Build 260), is now available. This update addresses a vulnerability in the XML parsing through the billion laughs attack. Please see the changelog and download pages for more information.

COPASI 4.35 (Build 258) Released

(03-15-22) A new release of COPASI has been made available. Please visit the download page to retrieve this latest stable release. This mainly bug fix release some issue in COPASI 4.34 (Build 251). More information can be found in the changelog.

Slepchenko Publication

(02-18-22) Congratulations to Boris Slepchenko on his latest publication with CCAM alumnus Masoud Nickaeen, A model of actin-driven endocytosis explains differences of endocytic motility in budding and fission yeast. In this article they showed that a molecularly explicit model of forces exerted by actin filaments on endocytic invaginations explains the differences in endocytic invaginations between budding and fission yeast.

Cowan and Loew Publication

(12-03-21) Ann Cowan and Les Loew are authors on another paper with the Carlier lab. This paper was published in The Biophysicist, Teaching Mathematical Modeling of Cellular Systems with the VCell MathModel. Congratulations on this paper and their continued collaborative work.

Loew is Co-author on Paper

(09-09-2021) The paper was published with collaborators from the Pollard lab at Yale, published online in the Biophysical Journal (PMID 34509503). The work was started by Les some time ago to computationally explore molecular details of actin assembly and was recently revived by a graduate student in the Pollard lab.
