It’s been a long time coming but HAL is finally published in @PLOSCompBiol check out our software paper journals.plos.org/ploscompbi… and our website halloworld.org for more details on how to get started with our quick prototyping agent based platform! #AndersonLab – at Tampa, FL

Exciting News! Lenia-in-HAL! 🚨
We released Lenia in the Hybrid Automata Library (@HybridAutomata) and everyone can implement Lenia using this link

"Spatial interactions modulate tumor growth and immune infiltration"
Our latest preprint:
@S_Marzban in collab w/ @AmelioLab!
We apply methods from artificial life, @BertChakovsky's #Lenia, as a model of tumor-immune:
- spatial growth dynamics
- cell-cell competition &
- cell migration
Application to head & neck squamous cell carcinomas to elucidate the role of collagen on immune infiltration

It's so cool to use @HybridAutomata to run the same simulation, but color-code and visualize many different ways:

Immune escape is a logical setting to implement an investigation into collective/group phenotypes (e.g. metaphenotypes, if you will)
Tumor-immune interactions are by a definition, a collective phenomenon by requiring the presence of two cell types interacting in close proximity: tumor and immune.

Excited to share the #AndersonLab 1st #Metaphenotype paper: frontiersin.org/journals/imm… Years in the making with many of @mathonco but @mathoncbro drove it to the finish line! Emerging in 2016 from @markrt_ work on cancer metabolic evolution, we observed the phenomena in this movie:

Super chuffed to see @mathoncbro artwork generated with @HybridAutomata on the cover of @TrendsCellBio for our recent article with @markrt_ on how, Agent-based methods facilitate integrative science in cancer. cell.com/trends/cell-biology…

Re-sharing this old blog post on combining @HybridAutomata with #EvoFreq:

even though i wrote it, i still refer to it myself when building models 😅

This is so cool, our theoretical work led by @mathoncbro with @markrt_ using @HybridAutomata comes to similar conclusions but we use a buffer agent to modulate acidity and our model is of a more generic ductal tumour: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… – at Tampa, FL
Proud to share our work showing how tumor acidity controls pancreatic cancer cell metabolism and tumor immune landscape. Tampering with tumor acidity elicits anti-tumor immune responses and overcomes resistance to immunotherapy in pancreatic cancer models.

Please to announce our latest paper led by @research_junkie just out in @PNASNews on how, Homeostasis limits keratinocyte evolution. #AndersonLab Many years in the making with help from Eunjung Kim, Rafael Bravo, @mathoncbro @leedham_simon & Darryl Shibata pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.20…

I’m excited to share our recently published manuscript in PNAS on clonal dynamics in the homeostatic epidermis. This paper took a winding course and was the first project that was incorporated into my DPhil. 1/🧵

Another neat example of modeling using @HybridAutomata , this time in SARS-CoV-2 applications:

nice work @gergely_rost & @S_Marzban et al 💯

Pleased to share a new collaboration with @cmaley on @EvolTherapy led by Daniel Thomas: In Silico Investigations of Multi-Drug Adaptive Therapy Protocols mdpi.com/1655416 Another great application of @HybridAutomata!

My latest weekend project: implementing @BertChakovsky's Lenia project in @HybridAutomata.
It's an elegant and mathematically beautiful method to extend discrete cellular automata (e.g. Game of Life) to allow continuous states.

#HAL showcased on Hungarian national tv! Thanks @gergely_rost for using our hybrid automata platform!
I had to get up very early to talk about our hybrid agent based - partial differential equation model for viral dynamics (royalsocietypublishing.org/d…) in the morning news of Hungarian national televison: facebook.com/mtva.hirado/vid…

Pleased to announce the release of #AndersonLab latest tool: GATTACA, for base pair resolution mutation tracking in agent-based models like @HybridAutomata. Developed by @research_junkie for our somatic evolution studies. Here’s a cool gif! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… – at Tampa, FL

Learned something new from @normonics' talk at #RWRI today -- Turing patterns can form in an *extremely simple* discrete cell automata:
Here's my code using Young's model (1984) created in @HybridAutomata):
