The project builds on modern high-performance scientific computing practices and leverages technologies inspired by platforms such as BioDynaMo to model tumor growth, tissue microenvironments, cell-cell interactions, and diffusion of signaling molecules. It reimplements the agent based model presented in [In silico study of heterogeneous tumour-derived organoid response to CAR T-cell therapy](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-63125-5) using BioDynaMo. CartopiaX aims to provide a flexible research environment that enables computational scientists and domain biologists to collaboratively design, execute, and analyze large-scale biological simulations. The platform combines high-performance C++ simulation kernels with user-friendly interfaces and scripting capabilities to enable rapid experimentation and reproducible research workflows. Currently, CartopiaX provides a performant core simulation engine but still requires improvements in usability, extensibility, and performance portability to support wider adoption in computational oncology and systems biology communities.
