There are trillions of cells in a human body and each is a marvel of complexity. In this talk I will give an overview of some visualisation and modelling frameworks that we are developing to capture this complexity. I will initially focus on the Visible Cell Project, which gives a full three dimensional reconstruction of the interior of a panecreatic Beta cell taking place at the University of Queensland. I will then discuss how we can simulate complex stochastic cellular processes in this (and other) frameworks.
Kevin Burrage was a Federation Fellow of the Australian Research Council (2003-2008). Until the end of 2007 he was also Professor of Computational Mathematics at the University of Queensland and Director of the Advanced Computational Modelling Centre. He was also founding CEO of the Queensland Parallel Supercomputing foundation (now QCIF).
Kevin joined Oxford University in early 2008 and is Professor of Computational Systems Biology at the Computing Laboratory and the Oxford Centre for Integrative Systems Biology. He is also a professorial research fellow at the Institute for Molecular Bioscience at the University of Queensland He shares his time between both institutions. Kevin is also a supernumerary fellow of New College at Oxford University.
