Features
Editors
TISON performs an intergrative modeling of biomolecular networks, microenvironments, cell decision circuits, in silico cell lines, and organoid geometries. This in combination with a high performance simulation engine core and accompanying data analysis tools, equips investigations into complex multi-scale models.
Networks Editor
Networks Editor helps with the construction of biomolecular interaction networks of genes, transcripts, proteins, and metabolites. Users can design and analyze rules-based and weight-based biomolecular networks towards predicting cell fate outcomes which can be visualized as three-dimensional attractor landscapes.
Therapeutics Editor
Therapeutics Editor assists in undertaking a therapeutic evaluation of biomolecular networks constructed earlier using the Networks Editor. Editor allows the development of therapeutic screens towards identification of novel drug targets, drug repurposing, and personalized therapeutics.

About Us
Recent advancements in high throughput sequencing technologies have enabled cancer researchers to investigate the complex interplay between biomolecules, giving rise to tumorigenesis, cancer development, and metastasis. Towards developing a mechanistic understanding of such phenomena, and deciphering the exact role of specific biomolecular entities within them, data integrative approaches can be quite helpful. TISON team aims to address the challenge offered by cancer, by leveraging data integrative approaches that cut across disciplines. Specifically, TISON assists in developing cancer systems biology models, simulations, and associated data analyses toward precision medicine and personalized cancer therapeutics.
