The research of Assistant Professor Sridevi Sarma has recently been featured in 2 individual articles for Johns Hopkins Medicine News. The first article discusses her research with Parkinson’s Disease and the use of “computational tools to understand and fine-tune deep brain stimulation” (click here to view). The second news story highlights Sri’s personal connection to […]
A new article entitled “Mitochondrial energetics, pH regulation, and ion dynamics: A computaional-experimental approach” from An-Chi Wei of Dr. Raimond Winslow’s lab was highlighted as a featured article in the June 22 issue of Biophysical Journal. In this published article, a computational model of mitochondrial energetics and ion dynamics was presented. With the collaboration with […]
Claire Zhao, a second-year BME PhD student in Dr. Raimond Winslow’s lab, has been awarded a Post-Graduate Scholarship-Doctoral (PGSD) from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). This award will support her project “Mathematical and Computational Modeling of Calcium Entrained Arrhythmia”, which aims to gain new insights into the causes of cardiac […]
Dr. Rajat Mittal of the Institute for Computational Medicine has been named a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), recognizing his “outstanding engineering achievements.” ASME describes the Fellow Grade as “the highest elected grade of membership within ASME, the attainment of which recognizes exceptional engineering achievements and contributions to the engineering profession”. […]
A paper by Yasmin Hashambhoy, Joseph Greenstein, and Raimond Winslow has been selected for inclusion in a Virtual Special Issue of the Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology on Calcium “enclosing a selection of outstanding contributions on the topic published over the past two years”. The paper selected is “Role of CaMKII in RyR leak, […]
On April 16th, ICM Faculty member Natalia Trayanova served as a panelist in a symposium on the promise of individualized health care during the Johns Hopkins Rising to the Challenge event in San Francisco. The event was held for alumni, parents and friends of Johns Hopkins University to learn more about how “America’s pre-eminent research […]
A new article in the journal Heart Rhythm entitled “Mapping of cardiac electrical activation with electromechanical wave imaging: An in silico–in vivo reciprocity study” from Trayanova lab was highlighted by an editorial. The goal of the research in the published article was to model ultrasound electromechanical wave imaging in the heart using an anatomically realistic […]
Jean Fan, an undergraduate student working with Dr. Rachel Karchin, has been awarded a 2011 Provost’s Undergraduate Research (PURA) Award for her proposal entitled “Improving computational models of the biological consequences of mutation through limiting the phylogenetic distances of orthologous sequences”. Congratulations to Jean for her award!
Millie Shah, a biomedical engineering undergraduate student in the lab of Feilim Mac Gabhann, has been awarded a 2011 Provost’s Undergraduate Research (PURA) Award for her project entitled “Computational Modeling of VEGF and sFlt-1 to Stimulate Preeclampsia and Evaluate Treatments”. “For [her] PURA project, [she] developed a computer model that depicts the activity of these […]
Brent Millare, a second-year BME PhD student in Dr. Natalia Trayanova’s lab, has been awarded a National Research Service Award (NRSA) from NHLBI. The award will support his project “Metabolic/Electrophysiological Model of the Heart under Ischemia/Reperfusion”, which aims to address the ways in which coupling between metabolic and electrophysiological processes in the whole heart contribute […]
