Abstract :
In this paper, we propose and characterize an FDTD-based method to numerically model biological cell structures. A particular focus is given to the cell membrane modeling which allows accounting, as realistically possible, the cell response under high-intensity nanosecond Pulsed Electric Fields (nsPEFs) application.
