The recent Journal Review article, “Computational medicine: translating models to clinical care”, published in the October 31 issue of Science Translational Medicine, has been recommended as being of special significance in its field by John Jeremy Rice and Raquel Norel from the F1000 Faculty. From F1000: “The review covers a large range of computational approaches, from gene networks to whole organ models, with a focus on the challenges for providing quantitative tools to diagnose and treat diseases to advance medicine”. To see the full written recommendation, visit the F1000 Prime website.

The paper has also recently been featured in several news channels. In the IT Healthcare News article “Man meets machine at Johns Hopkins” published on December 31, Dr. Raimond Winslow of the Institute for Computational Medicine states “Computational medicine is a discipline where we try to develop experimentally based computer models of disease, so we can very quantitatively understand what disease is, what affects disease, and then try to model therapeutic interventions.”
