By Traci FreedIn recent months we have received valuable feedback from our users and wanted to share information on some exciting, new features that have been introduced to make Cellucidate not only easier to use, but a more efficient platform for doing work. If you are not a current Cellucidate ...

By Joshua HavumakiWe live in an age of complexity. Large data sets and intricate networks are ubiquitous and underlie many daily events from flight patterns to the spread of H1N1...

By Ty ThomsonEarlier this week I was talking with a co-worker’s husband, and he was asking about exactly what we do here at Plectix. I was trying to explain the idea of biological modeling to him, and I realized that I wasn’t entirely sure if this type of modeling differs from any other.Like all ...

By Vy HoangWith the recent interest in cloud computing, it isn’t surprising that big pharma companies, such as Pfizer, Eli Lilly and Johnson & Johnson, are also experimenting with the cloud. Cloud computing offers many advantages for a low price. ...

By Traci FreedCellucidate was recently in a Nature feature about intuitive approaches to computer modeling for biologists. The article gives an interesting discussion of "executable biology", a new approach to biological modeling that makes simulations of cells easier for scientists to build, ...

By Isha AntaniFor many experimental biologists, the field of computational biology is a vast and unexplored terrain. Sure, there is curiosity about this exotic land, especially now with the increasing overlap between computational biology and the rediscovered systems biology...

By Joshua HavumakiAs proof of concept applications such as Merrimack’s MM-121 (an ErbB3 inhibitor) slowly make their way into the mainstream, the systems biology community is continuing to grow and people are starting to appreciate the necessity of computational methods to model and explain c...

By Ty ThomsonThere are currently hundreds of online resources for biology, including countless databases containing information on proteins, protein-protein interactions, signaling pathways, and other biological processes. In a recent perspective in Molecular Systems Biology, Bauer-Mehren et al....

By Vy HoangWith recent advances in genetic and functional genomic methods, the field of neuroscience is playing catch up with the other areas of biology that have already adopted these techniques (Geschwind et al.)...

By Isha AntaniIn recent times, systems biology has been “rediscovered”. Systems biology has been around for a while, often referred to by different names. Pa...

By Traci Freed Exciting new functionality, including collaboration tools, has recently been implemented in Cellucidate. Because Cellucidate is web-based there are no updates to install on your computer so login to your account and start exploring these features. If you are not a registered u...

By Isha Antani and Ty ThomsonUnderstanding and interpreting a differential equation model published in a paper can require one to go beyond merely copying and running the model in a simulator...

By Joshua Havumaki and Ty ThomsonMany from Plectix attended the International Conference on Systems Biology (ICSB) last week at Stanford University. In attendance were hundreds of attendees from all over the world. Although the vast majority of participants were academics, the commercial sector w...
