HD-Physiology Project - a Japanese flagship physiological modelling project

Modelling of large-scale multi-layer physiological modeling is one of the grand challenge in biology and medicine. The HD-Physiology Project is a Japanese flagship project intent to develop technical foundations for virtual patients.

Current focus are integration of a whole body ADME/PK model and heart model that are grounded onto sub-cellular signaling networks and metabolic networks as well as protein structure conformation changes at even lower level.

The project proposed and promoted the Garuda Platform that enables multiple software to smoothly operate to form a consistent workflow by assuring high-level of interoperability. CellDesigner and PhysioDesigner are two major applications which enable multi-layer modelling. Multiple models from various research groups are now being integrated to develop a consistent and large-scale model of virtual patients. We are also attempting to use genetic variations to differentiate between computational outcomes of the model to reflect possible uses of personal
