Computer models in biomedicine: What for?
Abstract
Biomedical research and clinical practice rely on complex and multimodality
datasets for the characterisation of human organs in health and disease. In
computational biomedicine, we often argue that multiscale computational
models are and will be increasingly required as tools for data integration,
for probing the established knowledge of physiological systems, and for
predictions of the effects of therapies and disease. But what has
computational biomedicine delivered so far? This presentation will describe
successes, failures and future directions of computational models in
cardiac research from basic to translational science.
