Many biological systems are exceptionally complex, often including a variety of cellular and molecular interactions. This complexity can make it extremely difficult for undergraduate students to visualize and understand these processes. Immunology is a discipline known for its complex signaling pathways and cellular interactions. One way to improve students' learning of multi-step immunological biomolecular networks is by having students build and manipulate dynamic computer models. The Cell Collective platform allows faculty to implement pre-built or build their own biological network models that their students can access. The student builds the model and then can manipulate parameters and see a graphical representation of the outcome. Furthermore, the models can incorporate assessment questions to ascertain student learning. I will introduce the attendees to Cell Collective, outline the lesson I built and assessed in my 300-level introductory Microbiology course on TLR4 signaling, and invite them to try the Cell Collective training module.
