Professor Damien Lacroix takes MultiSim Research to Japan
On Monday 23rd February 2015 MultiSim director, Professor Damien Lacroix, embarked on a 5 month visit to Kyoto, Japan, on to work alongside Professor Taiji Adachi. The trip will be highly beneficial for MultiSim research as it will enable Professor Lacroix to study multi-scale methods to further bridge the scale between cellular up to whole organism level.
Professor Taij...

Modelathon Update – Don’t Forget to Register
The MultiSim Modelathon is drawing ever closer and if you haven’t registered yet, now is the time.
The MultiSim Modelathon is based on the concept of hackathon events where different teams work on a challenging problem to ‘hack’ a computer code. Here there is no ‘hacking’ but ‘modelling’. Instead the teams will compete to solve a challenging multiscale biomechanical problem ...

Focus of our Research
The two central ideas that the Frontier Engineering multi-scale project focus on are:
a) The development of a novel multi-scale model of the musculoskeletal system that describes the mechanobiological processes from the whole body (neuromuscular control and body dynamics) down to the cellular level (bone remodelling and mechanosensing);
b) The creation of a mult...
