Physiology is an integrative medicine discipline investigating how the structure and function of cell, tissues, and organs explain the behavior of a living organism. By nature computational physiology is emerging as an integrative technology coupling physiological functions such as hemodynamics, respiration, metabolism, autoregulation, biomechanics, neurology, immunology, endocrinology, and others. Because of enormous complexity of the living organism the physiological modeling is performed using simple network type models for whole body functions, or using higher fidelity (e.g. 3D) models for specific physiological functions, organs, or tissues. Our multiscale approach is unique that it can naturally combine whole body physiological system models with spatial models of specific organs. A few examples of our work include:
