Core Developers

Core developers are trusted community members who have access to make commits to the PhysiCell development branch, and collaborate on regular PhysiCell releases. They represent key stakeholders and major ecosystem contributors. Core developers jointly set the PhysiCell strategic direction, with review and feedback from the Advisory Board.

Advisory Board

The Advisory Board represents key PhysiCell constituencies, including active scientist users, core developers, interested scientists, PhysiCell trainers, and ecosystem developers. They help provide regular feedback and expertise to the core developers on PhysiCell's development roadmap and strategic direction.

• Paul Macklin (Chair), Indiana University
• Cicely Macnamara, University of Glasgow
• Eoin McEvoy, University of Galway
• Vincent Noël, Institut Marie Curie
• Gibin Powathil, Swansea University
• Adam Smelko, Barcelona Supercomputing Institute

As community governance evolves, we anticipate that this group will eventually exclude core developers.

PhysiCell Cell Cancer Immunology and Modeling Language Advisory Board (for ITCR U24)

To approach a community consensus on PhysiCell's modeling grammar, we are forming an advisory board of PhysiCell and ITCR community members and domain experts. The board meets biannually via virtual meetings to review the current dictionaries and grammar, to choose standardized pre-built behavior models (and default parameter values), and to identify gaps in the modeling language.
