CERN software BioDynaMo predicts how your cancer will respond to a treatment

Technology offers a glimpse into the future of personalised cancer care

16-Jan-2024

Key points from article :

Scientists at CERN developed a software called BioDynaMo that simulates how breast cancer tumors grow and respond to treatment.

BioDynaMo uses complex computer models to predict the effectiveness of different drugs, combinations, and dosages for individual patients.

This could help doctors personalize cancer treatment plans and improve patient outcomes.

BioDynaMo successfully replicated the effects of two real cancer drugs in simulations.

It is open-source, meaning anyone can use it to study cancer and other complex systems.

Researchers are still working on improving BioDynaMo and its potential to personalize cancer treatment.
