SIMBIOsys
Simulation, Imaging and
Modelling for Biomedical Systems
SIMBIOsys is part of the research unit BCN Medtech, within the Department of Engineering of Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) in Barcelona.
- SIMBIOsys performs leading research on medical image analysis, machine learning and artificial intelligence, multiscale and systems computational modelling and simulation, in medicine, in biomechanics and mechanobiology, and in computer-assisted surgery.
- Integrates research activity on mathematical and computational models, algorithms, and systems to explore biological systems, and for computer-aided diagnosis and treatment.
- Our research group works closely with industrial and clinical partners, to develop biomedical applications and new demonstrative prototypes towards their final application in clinical routine.
