New paper on Functional Curation

Martin Scharm’s paper about the Cardiac Electrophysiology Web Lab, work done during his research stay at the University of Oxford, is published in the current issue of the Biophysical Journal! Hooray :)

We have created an online resource for the characterization and comparison of electrophysiological cell models in a wide range of experimental scenarios. The details of the mathematical model (quantitative assumptions and hypotheses formulated as ordinary differential equations) are separated from the experimental protocol being simulated. Each model and protocol is then encoded in computer-readable formats. A simulation tool runs virtual experiments on models encoded in CellML, and a website (https://chaste.cs.ox.ac.uk/WebLab) provides a friendly interface, allowing users to store and compare results.
