A multidisciplinary team of computational and clinical researchers from Johns Hopkins University, led by Yingnan Zhang, a Ph.D. candidate at Trayanova Lab, has made significant strides in cardiac research through the development of an innovative strategy called the “genotype-specific digital twin” (Geno-DT). This cutting-edge approach involves integrating personal genetics into Read more…
A team of computational and clinical researchers, led by first author Eric Sung, PhD, discover in their latest research that fat intermingling with scar tissue is the driving force behind the development of heart rhythm disturbances. This prospective study was completed by two clinical centers, one at Johns Hopkins University Read more…
The three awards will enable ADVANCE researchers to develop deep learning learning methods to understand the recurrence of atrial fibrillation following catheter ablation, artificial intelligence to predict the risk of sudden death in Sarcoidosis, and computational approaches for arrhythmia risk prediction in Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy. Principal investigator Dr. Natalia Read more…
