Applications Open: 2nd IEEE Italy Section Summer School: Multiscale Bioengineering: from Molecules to organs (µMBioEng 2016) Perugia (ITALY) 6-10 June 2016 http://mmbioeng2016.jimdo.com/ Registration deadline: 20 May 2016 Admission: in order of submission (limited number of places available) The PhD school “Multiscale Bioengineering: from Molecules to organs (µMBioEng)” tries to elucidate how information coming from different scale in vivo biosignals and models can be integrated in bioengineering. A transversal approach is followed, involving bioengineers, medical physicists, researchers in biomaterials and biomechanics. Dedicated lectures will be given concerning molecular, biomaterial, and whole-organ models to be used for diagnostics and for therapy planning along with lectures introducing advanced biomedical signal processing techniques, with special emphasis on multiscale integration of information, and to signal processing as a support for the identification and validation of patient-specific models. Specific hand-on lab sessions have been planned. Topics include: - Molecular modeling and Computational Drug Discovery (Prof. Jack Tuszynski) - Gel Dynamics: a Continuum Mechanics Perspective (Prof. Luciano Teresi) - Analysis of Biological Tissues: constitutive formulation and numerical modeling (Prof. Arturo Natali) - Modeling Cardiovascular Hemodynamics (Prof. Umberto Morbiducci) - Multiscale Image and Signal Processing (Prof. Filippo Molinari) The School is open to students must be graduated in a technical or scientific field, Ph.D. students and post-doctoral researchers; preference will be given to early-stage researchers in bioengineering. A qualifying IEEE Certificate of Attendance will be issued to attendees. The School is aimed to be a chance not only for learning new skills, but also for networking and sharing experiences in a multidisciplinary endeavour! Ing.
