Collaborations with Major European Organizations

• Partner 1: CNR, IMATI (Italie) – G. Manzini.

• Finite volume discretization on general, distorted meshes, for second order operators with anisotropy and discontinuities. Applications to the simulation of ECG.

• Partner 2: Computational Biology Group, University of Oxford. Department of Computer Science (United Kingdom).

• Our work with the computational biology group concerns the development of multi-scale models of the drugs and their effect on the electrical activity of the heart. The main goal is to assess the drug−induced effects on the electrocardiogram, using a computational model describing the physiology from ion channel to body surface potentials.
