The lab of William R. Brody Faculty Scholar Rachel Karchin, Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering and ICM core faculty member, has collaborated with bioinformatics software firm inSilico Solutions and the UC Santa Cruz Ebola Genome Portal to develop MuPIT Ebola Edition, a free, browser-based online tool that enables researchers to visualize Ebola gene mutations in […]
In a recent article featured in IEEE Spectrum, Dr. Natalia Trayanova, Murray B. Sachs Professor of Biomedical Engineering and ICM core faculty member, describes recent progress by her lab in the creation of custom virtual heart models for individual cardiac patients. These advances may fundamentally change the clinical approach to treating life-threatening heart conditions. Dr. […]
The Institute for Computational Medicine is pleased to announce two recent additions to our core faculty. We’re confident that their professional and research contributions will further advance ICM’s mission to develop and apply individualized computational models of disease that enable physicians to deliver improved patient care. Please join us in welcoming the following distinguished colleagues: […]
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 […]
Iraj Hosseini, a Graduate Student in the lab of Feilim Mac Gabhann, Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Institute for Computational Medicine Core Faculty Member, has been awarded a 2015 Siebel Scholarship. Iraj received his M.Sc. and B.Sc. (with honors) from University of Alberta and Isfahan University, respectively. At JHU, Iraj has […]
