The E-Cell Tutorial, a two week program for cell modeling using E-Cell3, was held at the Institute for Advanced Biosciences on April 12-23.

The tutorial was composed of two sessions. The first session offered a basic introduction to modeling and simulation using the E-Cell3 software, and the second session was reserved for individual modeling projects. All materials used in the tutorial are available from the E-Cell Tutorial web page.

Institute for Advanced Biosciences researcher Dr. Kouichi Takahashi has published an article on the development and implementation of "a multi-algorithm, multi-timescale method for cell simulation" in the March 1st issue of Bioinformatics.

The E-Cell simulation environment can be freely downloaded from the E-Cell Project website.
