CompBioMed’s 28th e-seminar took place on 23 November 2022 and focused on Predicting and preventing bone fractures with HPC. Femur fracture is a catastrophic event for elderly women, resulting in severe impairment of life quality or even death in many cases. One of the major risk factor is osteoporosis, an asymptomatic metabolic disorder that causes…

CompBioMed’s 27th e-seminar took place on 19 October 2022 focused on DNA Point Mutations in the Absence and Presence of Electric Fields. DNA mutations can occur spontaneously or can be induced by external factors such as electric fields, intercalators, radiations, etc. One of the point mutation mechanisms, known as the Löwdin’s mechanism, is the double…
The CompBiomed centre of excellence organised, in collaboration with the VPH Institute, a special session on the The role of exascale computing in computational biomedicine at the VPH2022 conference in Porto (PL) on Friday 9 September 2022. The session included four speakers from our consortium. Mariano Vasquez (BSC) showed concrete examples of how Alya can…
The CompBioMed AHM is coming back in person this year from 22-24 June. We will try and host it as a hybrid event with the talks and discussions streamed to those that cannot attend in person. We will be visiting the beautiful city of Bologna at the CINECA site, just north of the city this…
CompBioMed’s 25th e-seminar took place on 28 July 2022 and focused on Addressing the challenge of drug discovery with Machine Learning and Exascale computing This seminar introduced an innovative workflow that couples machine learning (ML) and physics-based (PB) methods to accelerate the traditional process of computer aided drug discovery. PB methods compensate for the sparsity…
CompBioMed’s 26th e-seminar took place on 2 September 2022 and focused on Phase III In Silico Trials of new treatments for osteoporosis using exascale computers. In this seminar Prof Viceconti reviews the challenges we are facing in transforming a digital twin in healthcare solution called BoBCAT, which predict the force required to fracture any bone…
CompBioMed’s 23rd e-seminar took place on 27 May 2022 and focused on Supercomputer-based in-silico clinical trials in cardiac therapies towards exascale computing. Biological systems are one of the most challenging modelling and simulation arenas. Let us pick one, which is particularly difficult: Cardiac modelling. Complex multi-scale and multi-physics, very large input datasets, a massive amount…
CompBioMed’s 24th e-Seminar took place on 5 July 2021 and focused on Simulating human cellular blood flow at extreme detail: a drop of blood at exascale Blood is the single most important fluid in the human body. It has an important role in most healthy and pathologic processes. Yet many of its properties are poorly…
