Dr. Khismatullin has visited Dr. Roger Kamm's laboratory at MIT Mechanical Enhgineering and Biological Engineering from May to July, 2016. This visit has been supported by the LINK award from the Louisiana Board of Regents. Dr. Khismatullin established collaboration with Dr. Kamm and his coworkers with a goal to extend the VECAM-Active computational platform to modeling tumor vasculogenesis and cancer cell migration during metastasis. The computational data produced as a result of this collaborative work led to fascinating modeling data on chemotactic and haptotactic migration of cancer cells and lumen formation during active deformation and coalesence of endothelial cells.
