Natalia Trayanova, PhD, the inaugural Murray B. Sachs Professor of Biomedical Engineering, and her team within the Institute for Computational Medicine were recently featured in the Johns Hopkins University Rising to the Challenge Campaign for their work building complex, multi-scaled computational models that simulate electrophysiological and electromechanical heart function and test possible treatment scenarios. From […]
Michael I. Miller, Ph.D., Herschel and Ruth Seder Professor, Director, Center for Imaging Science, will be speaking at the Inaugural Indo-US Translational Neuroscience Symposium on February 25th and 26th in Tilghman Auditorium (Turner Concourse). The conference features an array of leading neuroscience investigators from JHU SOM, Homewood, KKI, the Lieber Institute, and NIH. The symposium […]
Research from the lab of Dr. Sridevi Sarma, Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering and ICM core faculty member, was featured in the February 2015 issue of Clinical Neurophysiology. The paper, entitled “Physiology of functional and effective networks in epilepsy” reviews notions of functional and effective connectivity as applied to the study of seizures in […]
Dr. Rachel Karchin, Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering and core faculty member of the Institute for Computational Medicine, is featured in the winter 2015 edition of The Johns Hopkins Whiting School’s Engineering Magazine. “Pinpointing Cystic Fibrosis Severity” focuses on research in Dr. Karchin’s lab towards predicting the severity of individual’s likely symptoms of cystic fibrosis […]
The North American Neuromodulation Society (NANS) awarded Dr. Sridevi Sarma, Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering and ICM core faculty member the first Krishna Kumar Award at their Dec 12, 2014 annual meeting held in Las Vegas. Dr. Sarma set the bar high for subsequent recipients by addressing the 2000 or so attendees with a talk […]
In this year’s final issue of Biophysical Journal, BME predoctoral student Mark Walker, a member of the Winslow lab, has achieved a rare trifecta. In addition to the publication of his article entitled “Superresolution Modeling of Calcium Release in the Heart”, the journal features his artistic rendering of a model Ca2+ spark on the cover, […]
In a research paper available today, Dr. Natalia Trayanova, Murray B. Sachs Professor of Biomedical Engineering and ICM core faculty member, BME grad student Kelly Chang and researcher Jason Bayer reveal insights into the mechanisms of proarrhythmic alternans — electrical signals in the heart that alternate from beat to beat— and the role they play […]
The North American Neuromodulation Society (NANS) awarded BME assistant professor Sridevi V. Sarma the first Krishna Kumar Award at their December 12, 2014 annual meeting held in Las Vegas. Dr. Sarma set the bar high for subsequent recipients by addressing the 2000 or so attendees with a talk that managed to make complicated modeling approachable […]
Christopher Douville, a fourth-year BME PhD student in the lab of Dr. Rachel Karchin, associate professor of Biomedical Engineering and ICM core faculty member, has been awarded a National Research Service Award from the NIH’s National Human Genome Research Institute. The award will support his project “Predicting Impact of Genetic Variation on Splicing”, which aims […]
