We combine computational simulations, advanced medical imaging and biomechanics to tackle challenging problems in cardiovascular medicine.
Research
At CIMBL, we develop engineering-based approaches to improve diagnosis and treatment of patients with cardiovascular diseases. We focus in three key areas:
​
-
Computational Simulations: We are developing physics-based computational models to simulate blood flow inside patients' blood vessels and heart.
-
Advanced Medical Imaging: We are developing image analysis methods to extract anatomic and physiologic parameters from novel imaging modalities.
-
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.
