	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 bio compatible magnetic nano-carrier systems, e.g., magnetic liquids such as ferrofluids. This model example investigates an external...
	Drug Release from a Biomaterial Matrix In this example, drug-release from a biomaterial matrix to damaged cell tissue is modelled. Specifically, a nerve guide delivers a regenerating drug to damaged nerve ends. The model involves detailed drug release kinetics, with rate...
	DNA Degradation In gene therapy, plasmid DNA (pDNA) can express desired proteins in the human body. A major issue in gene therapy consequently involves the transport of pDNA to target sites and the conversion between different forms of this species....
