Johns Hopkins University scientists have developed a new tool for predicting which patients suffering from a complex inflammatory heart disease are at risk of sudden cardiac arrest. Published in Science Advances, their method is the first to combine models of patients’ hearts built from multiple images with the power of machine learning. Lead author Julie K. […]
Joel Bader, Professor of Biomedical Engineering and ICM core faculty member, was named interim director of both the Institute for Computational Medicine and the Malone Center for Engineering in Healthcare on July 1. A leader in systems biology of human disease, computational biology, and synthetic biology, Bader’s research focuses on genomics and biotechnology and the connection between genotype and phenotype, […]
Vice Dean for Graduate Education Sridevi Sarma, Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering and ICM core faculty member, introduces state-of-the-art tools to provide an interactive, intuitive teaching and learning experience for Johns Hopkins Engineering students this fall. Murray B. Sachs Professor of Biomedical Engineering Natalia Trayanova, also an ICM core faculty member, shares why she […]
A September 26 article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS) explains how a medical team at Stanford University School of Medicine solved a genetic riddle, with a significant contribution from the lab of Dr. Natalia Trayanova, Murray B. Sachs Professor of Biomedical Engineering and core faculty member of the Institute for Computational […]
On January 27, 2016, the Institute for Computational Medicine will host its second annual Computational Medicine Night. Through research presentations by ICM undergraduates, lab tours, poster presentations, and a panel discussion, Hopkins undergrads will learn about the array of research and academic opportunities available to them in this emerging field. Undergrads will also have the opportunity […]
The Johns Hopkins Institute for Computational Medicine, acclaimed worldwide for its groundbreaking research, has launched the nation’s first undergraduate minor in the emerging field of computational medicine. The minor course of study exposes students to the fundamentals of computational medicine—a discipline devoted to the development of quantitative approaches to understanding the mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment […]
The Institute for Computational Medicine (ICM) is pleased to announce the establishment of a Computational Medicine Core. This new core, supported by NIH funding to the Institute for Clinical and Translational Research, will help faculty across the Johns Hopkins enterprise add computational modeling to their research endeavors. The Computational Medicine Core was created to support […]
The Johns Hopkins Individualized Health Initiative (Hopkins inHealth) aims to develop and implement novel methods and tools to intelligently use information to individualize wellness, early disease detection, and more effective and affordable treatment. It is a University-wide, collaborative venture that is both visionary and pragmatic. The initiative builds on dramatic advances over recent years in […]
Johns Hopkins Engineering alumnus, David C. Gakenheimer, PhD (MechE ’65) has funded a fellowship within ICM to assist in developing and advancing heart research diagnostic methods such as detecting, classifying and treating heart rhythm disorders, including atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. Gakenheimer, who has a specific interest in atrial fibrillation, is the principal developer of […]
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, […]
