The Institute for Computational Medicine is pleased to announce the appointments of Suchi Saria and Joel Bader to our core faculty, bringing the total number of ICM core faculty to 17. Their research and participation will further enrich the Institute’s mission to develop and apply individualized computational models of disease that enable physicians to deliver […]
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 […]
Assistant Professor Rachel Karchin of the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Institute for Computational Medicine recently received an award of $695K for 3 years from the National Science Foundation. The award, which is part of the NSF’s Advances in Biological Informatics program is entitled “ABI Innovation: Predicting the combined impact of multiple mutations on protein […]
Dr. Fijoy Vadakkumpadan, Assistant Research Professor of the Institute for Computational Medicine and Department of Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, has been awarded the W. W. Smith Charitable Trust Heart Research Grant. This grant provides seed funding for basic medical research on heart disease, and supports unique and meritorious projects. The total award amount […]
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, […]
Dr. Fijoy Vadakkumpadan, Assistant Research Professor of the Institute for Computational Medicine and Department of Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, has been awarded the American Heart Association National Scientist Development Grant. This grant supports highly promising beginning scientists in their progress toward independence by encouraging and adequately funding research projects that can bridge the […]
The Cardioid code divides the heart into a large number of manageable pieces, or subdomains. The development team used two approaches, called Voronoi (left) and grid (right), to break the enormous computing challenge into much smaller individual tasks. A November 14 article in ISGTW (The International Science Grid this Week) highlighted recent work carried out […]
Computational medicine, a fast-growing method of using sophisticated computer models to figure out how disease develops, promises a new era of personalized medicine. “We are poised at an exciting time in medicine,” writes Raimond L. Winslow, Director of the Johns Hopkins Institute of Computational Medicine and lead author on the Science Translational Medicine article “Computational […]
Dr. Robert Siliciano of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine speaks at the first ICM-ICTR Symposium. On Monday, September 24, over 50 members of the Hopkins research community met in the Chevy Chase Conference Center at the newly constructed Zayed Tower, Johns Hopkins Hospital to hold the first Symposium on Computational Medicine. The goal of […]
Prof. René Vidal has been awarded the 2012 J.K. Aggarwal Prize. This prize is awarded every two years in recognition of a technical contribution of far-reaching significance and impact on the field of pattern recognition or its closely allied fields by a young investigator under 40 years of age. Prof. Vidal has been awarded this […]
