Barcelona | 02/03/2011 00:00 Una plataforma informática basada en un complejo modelo matemático elaborado a partir de datos epidemiológicos, ensayos clínicos y entrevistas, ayudará a predecir la evolución de un paciente con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC) y permitirá a los especialistas tomar mejores decisiones terapéuticas, según ha explicado Felip Miralles, coordinador del proyecto Synergy-COPD, en Barcelona Digital (Bdigital). Este proyecto, en el que participa un grupo dirigido por Josep Roca, jefe de sección del Servicio de Neumología y director de la Unidad de Función Pulmonar del Hospital Clínico de Barcelona y el Instituto de Investigaciones Biomédicas August Pi i Sunyer (Idibaps), partirá de una simulación matemática que ofrecerá un modelo de evolución de la enfermedad en función de las características particulares de un paciente.

Data visualization is a medium for understanding information that had previously been the domain of scientists and researchers.
Today, due to the amount of data available, there is an increasing need to find new ways of understanding what information means that is available through social networks and throughout the Web. Engaging Online Communities is a report we published this week that explores ways to engage with customers. It looks at the tools available to engage, collect and analyze information.
A logical next step beyond analysis is to engage communities in ways that helps them understand information. Data visualization is increasingly seen as an effective way to do that. According to a short report by FFunction in Montreal, data visualization has become a way to clearly communicate information that is often quite complex. Audrée Lapierre of FFunction writes: But how do you engage with online communities with data visualization? Leslie Bradshaw is the co-founder of JESS3. Bradshaw: 1.

Research Assistant Project: SYNERGY – Modelling and simulation environment for systems medicine (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease – COPD – as a use case) The Computing Laboratory has a vacancy, within the Computational Biology Group (CBG), for a postdoctoral research scientist for three years as part of an EU research project, "SYNERGY", funded within the Virtual Physiological Human initiative. The project, under the supervision of Drs Kelly Burrowes and David Kay, concerns research in the area of mathematical and computational modelling of the respiratory system. More specifically this project will be focussed on the development of subject-specific computational models of fluid transport (air and blood) within the respiratory system; the outcomes of which will be integrated into a multi-scale trans-European model of oxygen delivery in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The post will involve development and implementation of computational models of fluid transport within the lungs.
