Chaste
Chaste (Cancer, Heart and Soft Tissue
Environment) is a general purpose simulation package aimed at
multi-scale, computationally demanding problems arising in biology and
physiology. Current functionality includes tissue and cell level
electrophysiology, discrete tissue modelling, and soft tissue modelling. The
package is being developed by a team mainly based in the Computational
Biology Group at Oxford University Computing Laboratory, and development
draws on expertise from software engineering, high performance computing,
mathematical modelling and scientific computing.
While Chaste is a generic extensible library, software development to date has focused on two distinct areas: continuum modelling of cardiac electrophysiology (Cardiac Chaste); and discrete modelling of cell populations (Systems Biology Chaste), with specific application to tissue homeostasis and carcinogenesis (Cancer Chaste). This website contains details on all aspects of Chaste: for information specific to Cardiac Chaste, see here; for information on discrete cell based modelling in Chaste (Systems Biology Chaste) see here; and if you are interested in Cancer Chaste click here.
