Radiation-induced lung damage prognosis

Pulmonary fibrosis is a respiratory disease in which scar tissue is formed in the lung that may lead to functional lung volume loss, breathlessness and eventually potentially death. Radiation-induced fibrosis can occur within the lungs […]

C.elegans biomechanical modelling

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C.elegans) has emerged as a powerful model-organism for the study of many different physiological processes. For example the C.elegans has been used extensively to investigate the neuronal and behavioural response and […]

Cardiac biomechanics modelling

Cardiac biomechanics have proven particularly useful for improving our understanding of heart function in health and disease, providing a quantitative framework for studying cardiac pathophysiology. Personalised cardiac mechanics models, combining mathematical modelling with clinical data, […]

Cell-scale dynamics simulation

Understanding the physiology and pathology of human organs necessitates understand about cell biology. Cells constitute the building blocks of all living things. Cells provide structure for the body, carry out specialized functions, produce/uptake biochemical cues, […]
