Osaka University’s “Creation of Predictive Medical Infrastructure by Integrating Medicine, Engineering, and Informatics” project is developing insilicoIDE/PhysioDesigner, a platform to support modeling and simulation of multi-level biological functions, and we are contributing to its program development. We are contributing to the development of the program.

It is important that modeling in this framework deal with the morphology of living organisms.
For this reason, joint research and development of an application for visualization and construction of biological morphological models to handle morphological data on insilicoIDE/PhysioDesigner is underway at the same time.

The Biomorphic Model Visualization and Construction Application allows you to read a biomorphic model written in various formats (e.g., heart, brain, skeleton, etc.) and set up regions for solving partial differential equations, initial values, boundary conditions, etc. for it. Even in the absence of such data, a simple morphology can be constructed by combining basic shapes such as spheres and cylinders, and used for simulation.

In this presentation, we focused on the functions of insilicoIDE/PhysioDesigner that handle this morphological data.
