摘要: Modeling and simulation (M&S) techniques provide a platform for knowledge integration hypothesis testing to gain insights into biological systems that would not be possible priori. Agent-based modeling (ABM) is an M&S technique focuses on describing individual components rather than homogenous populations. This tutorial introduces ABM pharmacologists, using relevant case studies highlight how ABM-specific strengths have yielded success in the area of preclinical mechanistic modeling.
