Anıl Tuncel

I am a Software Engineer with working experience in multidisciplinary scientific fields such as simulation neuroscience and genomics.

At the Blue Brain Project, we are building biologically detailed digital reconstructions and simulations of the mouse brain. We are running supercomputer-based simulations for understanding the multi-level structure and function of the brain.

Before joining Blue Brain Project, I was employed by ETH Zurich to work on Roche Tumour Profiler Project. I designed data analysis pipelines and statistical methods to provide personalised treatments for cancer patients.

I volunteer as a Contributing Member at the Python Software Foundation. My contributions relate to the creation or maintenance of open-source software available to the public at no charge.

EModelRunner: a Python package to run online available biological neuron model implementations
Anıl Tuncel

The Blue Brain Project hosts several online portals from which users can download single neuron model implementations. These contain the information necessary to simulate the electrical behavior of a neuron. EModelRunner is a Python library that provides a unified interface to the users to run these downloaded models. It gives the users the ability to customize the properties of the neurons, apply various stimuli in order to observe the corresponding behavior, or activate the synapses that are present on the morphology of the neuron. This way neuroscientists can investigate the neurons in a self-contained environment and conduct digital experiments on them.
