• ITMO PhD Student on Doing Medical Modeling at University of Sheffield

  Can computer modeling help us solve problems of people suffering from cardiovascular diseases? Scientists from ITMO University in collaboration with colleagues from the Netherlands and the United Kingdom have been conducting research over the last few years to reduce the risk of complications after coronary stenting. These stents are special dilating frames that are placed in the coronary vessels and are designed to restore blood supply to the heart. Pavel Zun - a PhD student at ITMO University’s The High-Performance Computing Department and one of the project’s authors - spent the last month at the University of Sheffield, where he worked with biologists on a model for tissue growth inside the vessel after the stent is installed. He shared some details about the research with ITMO.NEWS and explained why design of computer models for medicine is one of today’s most promising areas of work.
