SimBioSys, Inc.

SimBioSys is developing a Computational Microscope that integrates state-of-the-art simulation techniques with a diverse set of experimental datasets to provide new insight into the behavior of cancers. The technology allows researchers to peer into the cancer microenvironment to identify the behavior of tumors: the cell phenotypes, how theyinteract with surrounding tissues, and how they prime their neighbors for invasion, all from the comfort of their computer desk.
