2020 Workshop on Cell Fate Determination: Intersection at Multiscale Modeling and Experiments

A Computational Pipeline to Predict Cardiotoxicity:From the Atom to the Rhythm
Rationale: Drug-induced proarrhythmia is so tightly associated with prolongation of the QT interval that QT prolongation is an accepted surrogate marker for arrhythmia.
A Computational Pipeline to Predict Cardiotoxicity:From the Atom to the Rhythm
In a new linkage, we connected atomistic scale information to protein, cell and tissue scales by predicting drug binding affinities and rates from simulation of ion channel and drug structure interactions and then used these values to model drug effects on the hERG channel. Model components were integrated into predictive models at the cell and tissue scales to expose fundamental arrhythmia vulnerability mechanisms and complex interactions underlying emergent behaviors.

IMAG-AND FUTURES - MENTOR-MENTEE NETWORKING
This site provides opportunities for mentees to connect with to connect with mentors during IMAG-AND Futures. For mentees interested in interacting specific mentors are encouraged to directly contact mentors; to set up a time for a video call / web conferencing.
