    Category  Cross-Omics>Agent-Based Modeling/Simulation/Tools

    Abstract  MoBi® is a systems biology software tool for multiscale
    physiological modeling and simulation.

    It can be used for the mechanistic and dynamic modeling of biological
    processes and drug action.

    MoBi is completely integrated with PK-Sim® [the manufacturer's
    package for physiologically-based pharmacokinetics (PBPK) modeling
    (see G6G Product Number 20460)] and is, consequently, especially
    suited for the analysis of complex pharmacokinetic and
    pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) models under simultaneous consideration
    of whole-body physiology.

    Modeling with MoBi is a unique way to integrate 'in vitro' and 'in vivo'
    findings into one unified representation allowing for the evaluation,
    analysis, interpretation and prediction of experiments to an utmost level
    of detail.

    MoBi facilitates the process of model building and simulation of
    'biochemical reaction networks' with its intuitive graphical user interface
    (GUI), the import and export to other modeling languages (e.g. SCAMP)
    and an advanced visualization tool for simulation results.

    The integration of MoBi and MATLAB®, particularly the recently
    developed MoBi Toolbox for MATLAB (see below...), allows for the
    seamless performance of complex optimizations and sensitivity
    analyses as well as the implementation of large, highly sophisticated
    simulation and analysis tasks that can be programmed to run in an
    automated way.

    MoBi's main features/capabilities are:

    1) Integrated PK/PD simulations comprising both whole-body
    physiology and molecular mechanisms;

    2) PK and PD modeling and simulation with an intuitive graphical user
    interface;

    3) Import of PBPK models generated with PK-Sim® (PK-Sim PBPK
    Models);

    4) Execution of simulations and investigation of simulation results by
    means of an advanced visualization tool;

    5) Combination of multiple PK-Sim® PBPK Models;

    6) Integration of PK-Sim PBPK Models with drug action models;

    7) Import / Export to other modeling languages; and 8) Interface to
    MATLAB.

    MoBi Toolbox for MATLAB --

    Integrating Multiscale Physiological Modeling and Simulation with
    Technical Computing -

    The MoBi Toolbox for MATLAB is a collection of MATLAB functions, which
    allow the processing of models developed in MATLAB.

    For example, the MATLAB environment can be used to change
    parameters in a model developed in MoBi, simulate the model, and
    analyze the results.

    This allows for an efficient operation in the model analysis stage, using
    the programming options as well as the function library available within
    MATLAB in combination with the advanced modeling interface and
    solver kernel included in MoBi.

    In addition, the Toolbox offers efficient analysis methods tailored
    towards the needs of 'systems biology' and PBPK modeling including
    parameter identification and optimization among others.

    Basic functionalities such as ‘parameter identification’ can be done
    without any MATLAB® or programming knowledge through Graphical
    User Interfaces (GUIs).

    The MoBi Toolbox also provides an interface to an easy to use
    programming environment, which allows individual extensions to be
    quickly implemented.

    This allows the automation of tasks and the establishment of protocols
    and standards.

    These can vary in their level of sophistication from simple batch
    simulations to large-scale simulations, followed by an automated
    analysis including data and graphic processing.

    For example, the manufacturer has developed a protocol for studying
    pediatric populations, which they routinely employ in projects.

    Starting from an adult PBPK model that has been developed within PK-
    Sim (and MoBi), a set of GUIs guide you through the few project-specific
    specifications needed, allowing an evaluation of settings, as well as the
    selection of output options of interest.

    The rest is executed in an automated fashion:

    a) Thousands of virtual individuals are simulated and analyzed;

    b) The results are visualized and written into graphical files and data
    files including meaningful table and figure captions; and

    c) Macros within Microsoft Word® read and format the info, generating
    the basis for reporting to your customers or agencies.
