Check out this new paper from the Cardiac Systems Simulation (CardSS) Lab! This is the first product from our NIH R21-funded project in machine learning-based prediction of heart disease risk in survivors of childhood cancer. Thank you to our incredible collaborators, especially Dr. Lindsay Edwards at Duke in pediatric cardiology and Dr. Eric Chow at the Fred Hutch, our expert in cancer survivorship! Most importantly, congratulations to CardSS Lab team member Dr. Surbhi Sharma and lab alumna Zih-Hua Chen (MS…

We are very proud to share that our longtime lab member Izzy Kim has been awarded the amazing Husky 100 distinction for the 2023-24 academic year! Izzy is a current senior in our undergraduate program and has been a member of the CardSS Lab since November 2021. She established herself as a strong research presence in the lab while working with her initial graduate student mentor (Dr. Savannah Bifulco, who graduated this past summer). For the past year, she has…

We are very proud to share that Dr. Åshild Telle‘s first paper as a member of the lab was published earlier this week in Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy! The title of our review is “Personalized biomechanical insights in atrial fibrillation: opportunities & challenges”. The paper will be available to subscribers via this link. The publisher has provided a second link that will make the paper available to non-subscribers for a limited time, please use this link only if your…

We are thrilled to share that CardSS Lab PhD Student Chelsea Gibbs has published her first paper as lead author for research related to her dissertation. The article is entitled “Graft–host coupling changes can lead to engraftment arrhythmia: a computational study”. This work is a product of our exciting collaboration with Dr. Chuck Murry and other members of his team, working at UW’s Institute for Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine (ISCRM; pron. “ice cream”). In this paper, we use models…

We are excited to report many recent successes over the past few months!
