BioDynaMo is a biology development simulation framework initially developed by researchers at CERN openlab and Newcastle University, also with the support by seed funding from the CERN Medical Applications budget. In 2020, the Institute of Global Health (University of Geneva) joined the BioDynaMo collaboration to implement a COVID-19 localised spreading model. A grant to develop the model further has been awarded to the team by the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).
