….As one of the more surprising examples of haut tech conversion, Project CyberCell has joined forces with the Computer Modelling Group Ltd. of Calgary to develop a four dimensional simulation platform of a virtual living cell. CMG has been involved in modelling, simulation and visualization of complex processes associated with oil and gas recovery for the past 24 years. Dr. Mike Ellison, director of Project Cybercell notes, ” CMG’s abilty to accurately predict in space and time, the complex chemical behaviour of solids, gases and liquid within a complicated geological setting, makes its software ideally suited to cellular simulation. As academics,our partnership with CMG has taught us two valuable lessons. Speed counts but open-mindedness is equally important- Collaborate or die!” A protoype of their virtual cell should be ready later this year.
