Research

At CIMBL, we develop engineering-based approaches to improve diagnosis and treatment of patients with cardiovascular diseases. We focus in three key areas:

​

1. Computational Simulations: We are developing physics-based computational models to simulate blood flow inside patients' blood vessels and heart.

2. Advanced Medical Imaging: We are developing image analysis methods to extract anatomic and physiologic parameters from novel imaging modalities.

3. Biomechanics: We are conducting fundamental studies in tissue biomechanics to improve prosthetic valve designs.

​

We work in close collaboration with clinicians, radiologists, and basic scientists at leading hospitals to facilitate technology transfer. Through this multi-disciplinary approach, we hope to lead a paradigm shift towards personalized medicine and ultimately improve patient lives.
