Computational modeling and simulation for medicine

Primary focus is on quantitative and computational methods to understand and/or model the pathophysiology of complex biological systems and develop efficient therapeutic interventions. Methods for multiscale/multilevel modeling and system identification are covered as applied towards understanding and analyzing biology, from individual molecules in cells to entire organs, organisms, and populations. Some examples include modeling of the glucose-insulin metabolic system, multi-scale cancer modeling and in silico oncology, construction of models to study cardiovascular system health. Modeling and simulation of medical devices such as artificial kidney, artificial heart and heart valves, are also covered, along with prototype manufacturing using 3D printing technology.
