Computational biomodeling

Computational Biomodeling is when scientists use computers to help them study and understand how living things work. They use computers to make special models, which are like pictures or diagrams, to help them figure out how different parts of a living thing interact with each other. Scientists can also use these models to predict how a disease might spread or how changes in an organism could affect its behavior. By doing this, scientists can help to cure illnesses and make sure that our environment stays healthy.
