- Michigan Tech Media Relations Story#742 - From Xbox to T-Cells: Michigan Tech Researchers Borrow Video Game Technology to Model Human Biology: Researchers at Michigan Technological University are harnessing the computing muscle behind some of the leading video games to understand the most intricate real-life systems. Led by Roshan D'Souza, the researchers have supercharged agent-based modeling, a powerful but computationall y massive forecasting technique, by using graphic processing units (GPUs) like those that drive the spectacular imagery found in popular video games. In particular, the team aims to model complex biological systems such as the human immune response to a tuberculosis bacterium. Computer models offer significant advantages. "You can create a mouse that's missing a gene and see how important that gene is," says Kirschner. "But with agent-based modeling, we can knock out two or three genes at once." In particular, agent-based modeling allows researchers to do something other methodologies can't: virtually test the human response to serious insults, such as injury and infection.
