Ann Kennedy will be mentored by Dr. Michael Miller and Dr. Tilak Ratnanather. Her project will focus on computational neuroanatomy. Ann is a rising junior in the Biomedical Engineering program with a minor in Biology. Timothy Law will be mentored by Dr. Raimond Winslow and Dr. Joseph Greenstein. His project’s focus is computational modeling of […]
The short course “Integrative Models of the Cardiac Myocyte” will train biomedical researchers and clinician-scientists in how to develop and apply biophysically- and biochemically-detailed, experimentally-based computational models of the cardiac myocyte. Emphasis will be on modular development and testing of models using experimental data, numerical methods for solving model equations, mathematical techniques for developing and […]
Supported by an $8.5 million federal grant from NIH/NHLBI, leading researchers at three universities, including Johns Hopkins, are creating an ambitious digital network that will allow cardiovascular researchers worldwide to easily exchange data and expertise on heart-related illnesses. The project, called the Cardiovascular Research Grid, is expected to be a boon to the large community […]
Dr. Raimond Winslow was featured on page 8 in the “R+D” section-short for the Latest Research and Developments from the Whiting School. Drs. Trayanova and Karchin were introduced on page 9 as new faculty members.
The Johns Hopkins University’s Institute for Computational Medicine is pleased to announce that two new faculty, Dr. Natalia Trayanova and Dr. Rachel Karchin, will be joining us in the next several months. Natalia Trayanova, Ph.D. who is currently a Professor at Tulane University in the Department of Biomedical Engineering as well as the Director […]
Congratulations to students Laura Doyle and Andy Wong, the first recipients of the Institute for Computational Medicine’s Summer Undergraduate Fellowship. Each summer, the Institute for Computational Medicine (ICM), an Institute in the Whiting School of Engineering and the School of Medicine, will sponsor research fellowships for Johns Hopkins University undergraduate students. Fellowships can be awarded […]
As described in an article published in the January 5th issue of Circulation Research (Helm et. al. 2006. Evidence of structural remodeling in the dyssynchronous failing heart. 98: 125), researchers at the Institute for Computational Medicine and the Whitaker Biomedical Engineering Institute performed diffusion tensor MRI in isolated perfusion-fixed dog hearts to estimate the distributions […]
ICM Graduate Student Yasmin Hashambhoy will be giving a presentation on a paper regarding identifying hybrid systems in a recursive manner, titled “Recursive Identification of Switched ARX Models with Unknown Number of Models and Unknown Orders.” She is the co-author of the paper along with Dr. Rene Vidal of the Johns Hopkins University Center for […]
The Institute for Computational Medicine has been awarded a grant through the IBM Shared University Research (SUR) program. This grant will be used to purchase IBM equipment in support for the Research Grid for Computational Medicine in Cardiovascular Applications (CardioVascular Research Grid CVRG) project. This award is being funded by IBM Healthcare and Life Sciences […]
Professor Raimond L. Winslow (Biomedical Engineering) will direct a new institute that will address important health problems by using powerful information management and computing technologies to produce a better understanding of the origins of human disease. The Institute for Computational Medicine will involve a close collaboration with researchers at the School of Medicine. Read the […]
