	Physician Moves Modeling into Patient Care LSU School of Medicine, Shreveport, LA The image of a physician performing a bedside diagnosis might not be one that comes to mind when thinking of the typical person performing computational...
	Multidisciplinary Modeling in Biotech Applications MEDRAD's Innovations Group, Indianola, PA Much of MEDRAD´s research deals with the most efficient yet safest way to deliver diagnostic fluids into a patient´s body. And while fluid dynamics plays a...

	Magnetic Drug Targeting Current research on methods to target chemotherapy drugs in the human body includes the investigation of biocompatible magnetic nanocarrier systems, for example magnetic liquids such as ferrofluids. This model investigates an external...
	Drug Release from a Biomaterial Matrix In this example, drug-release from a biomaterial matrix to damaged cell tissue is modeled. Specifically, a nerve guide delivers a regenerating drug to damaged nerve ends. The model involves detailed drug release kinetics, with rate...
	Degradation of DNA in Plasma Biotechnology is a rapidly growing area in the pharmaceutical sciences. One example of a clinical application is gene therapy, where it is possible to produce proteins in vivo, using the body’s own mechanisms for protein production....
