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 […]
Jason Yang, Laura Doyle, Dr. Joseph Greenstein, and Dr. Patrick Helm of the Center for Cardiovascular Bioinformatics and Modeling attended the 2005 Annual Biomedical Engineering Society Fall Meeting. Doyle and Helm gave a presentation on “Virtually Unwrapping The Cardiac Ventricles.” Yang and Helm presented the poster “Ex Vivo 3D DTMRI Of Human Myocardium.” Greenstein presented […]
Version 2.0 of the Protein-DB2 database/web interface system is now available for immediate download via the CCBM website. An Apache/PHP system was the development platform for version 1.0 of the web interface; version 2.0 centers its functionality on a Java Application/JSP server, namely IBM Websphere v5.1. In addition to the structural changes to the web […]
