Tools for Agent-Based Modelling in Developmental Biology

Explore tools for agent-based modeling in developmental biology in this 30-minute conference talk from JuliaCon 2024. Dive into complementary packages that address specific challenges in biological applications, including SpatialHashTables.jl for neighbor detection in unbounded domains, BoundedDegreeGraphs.jl for allocation-free graphs, and AgentTools.jl for handling heterogeneous and dynamic parameters. Learn about the Position-Based Dynamics (PBD) method for particle simulations and its potential in agent-based modeling. Examine example applications in cell migration, limb bud formation, and epithelial tissue growth to understand the unique challenges in modeling developmental biology processes.
