Abstract
A method and apparatus for modeling cellular structure is disclosed. The system incorporates a theoretical hypotheses of cellular physiology into a simulation framework that allows direct comparison of simulation results with experimental data. The description of the biological model is kept independent of the solution by the use of an integrated anatomical and physiological modeling language. This framework allows complex heterogeneous intracellular chemical simulations to be built with little or no knowledge of the underlying numerical methods. Because the simulation results are easily compared to the experimental results, the user can more easily confirm the hypothesis.
