 |
To develop computational biology tools for the study of arrhythmia mechanisms at all levels of the cardiac system (ion-
channel, cardiac cell, multicellular tissue, whole-heart). |
| |
|
|
To use these tools, in combination with experimental data, to elucidate the mechanisms and simulate the arrhythmogenic
consequences of hereditary (genetic) and acquired (environmental) cardiac disease. |
| |
|
|
To simulate the effects of therapeutic interventions (drugs, genetic modification, pacing) on cardiac arrhythmias in an effort
to help develop better strategies for therapy. |
| |
|
|
To provide training in the application of quantitative approaches to the research of cardiac arrhythmias and to the
design/realization of novel diagnostic tools. |
| |
|
|
To provide an environment for mechanism-based diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias. |
