TissueOpt

The purpose of the Tissue Simulation Toolkit (TST) is to simulate the single cell and collective behavior of animal cells and extracellular materials and signals during embryonic development, blood vessel formation, in cancer and in cell cultures. The software implements the widely used cellular Potts model. Here we focus on modelling the mechanical and chemical interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM), the jelly and fibrous materials that surround cells.

This project focused on optimising the computational performance of the TST.
