COMPUTATIONAL PHYSIOLOGY

In recent years, modeling and simulation of biophysical phenomena has matured in both scope and methodology, such that it can contribute significantly to the present understanding of physiology and disease. The Computational Physiology (ComPhy) department at Simula is an integrated team of researchers working to develop cutting edge biological simulation tools. The group collaborates closely with both experimentalists and clinicians around the world to drive basic research and promote innovation... A particular strength of the ComPhy group is a diverse set of backgrounds and skill-sets, enabling research into numerical and computational methods to develop state-of-the-art simulation tools, as well as the targeted application of these tools to gain mechanistic insight into diverse biophysical phenomena. The core focus of the group is research into biophysical models of the heart, and modeling efforts span a wide range of spatial and temporal scales, from investigation of detailed..
