Bayesian Calibration and Model Assessment of Cell Migration Dynamics with Surrogate Model Integration
Computational models provide crucial insights into complex biological processes such as cancer evolution, but their mechanistic nature often makes them nonlinear and parameter-rich, complicating calibration. We systematically evaluate parameter probability distributions in cell migration models using Bayesian calibration across four complementary strategies: parametric and surrogate models, each with and without explicit model discrepancy. This approach enables joint analysis of parameter uncertainty, predictive performance, and interpretability. Applied to a real data experiment of glioblastoma progression in microfluidic devices, surrogate models achieve higher computational efficiency and predictive accuracy, whereas parametric models yield more reliable parameter estimates due to their mechanistic grounding. Incorporating model discrepancy exposes structural limitations, clarifying where model refinement is necessary. Together, these comparisons offer practical guidance for calibrating and improving computational models of complex biological systems.

Active gel model for one-dimensional cell migration coupling actin flow and adhesion dynamics
Migration of animal cells is based on the interplay between actin polymerization at the front, adhesion along the cell-substrate interface, and actomyosin contractility at the back. Active gel theory has been used before…
Quantifying cell cycle regulation by tissue crowding
The spatiotemporal coordination and regulation of cell proliferation is fundamental in many aspects of development and tissue maintenance. Cells have the ability to adapt their division rates in response to mechanical co…
Bayesian InferenceUsing systemic modeling and Bayesian calibration to investigate the role of the tumor microenvironment on chemoresistance
Using a novel modeling approach based on the so-called environmental stress level (ESL), we develop a mathematical model to describe systematically the collective influence of oxygen concentration and stiffness of the ex…
Quantifying T cell morphodynamics and migration in 3D collagen matrices
T cells undergo large shape changes (morphodynamics) when migrating. While progress has been made elucidating the molecular basis of cell migration, statistical characterization of morphodynamics and migration has been l…
Minimal cellular automaton model with heterogeneous cell sizes predicts epithelial colony growth
Regulation of cell proliferation is a crucial aspect of tissue development and homeostasis and plays a major role in morphogenesis, wound healing, and tumor invasion. A phenomenon of such regulation is contact inhibition…
