Natalia Trayanova, PhD, the inaugural Murray B. Sachs Professor of Biomedical Engineering, and her team within the Institute for Computational Medicine were recently featured in the Johns Hopkins University Rising to the Challenge Campaign for their work building complex, multi-scaled computational models that simulate electrophysiological and electromechanical heart function and test possible treatment scenarios. From […]
In a research paper available today, Dr. Natalia Trayanova, Murray B. Sachs Professor of Biomedical Engineering and ICM core faculty member, BME grad student Kelly Chang and researcher Jason Bayer reveal insights into the mechanisms of proarrhythmic alternans — electrical signals in the heart that alternate from beat to beat— and the role they play […]
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. […]
