The Center for Devices and Radiological Health is committed to advancing regulatory science with computational modeling. This presentation will cover the new standard from the ASME Verification and Validation (V&V 40) subcommittee on Computational Modeling for Medical Devices. Computational modeling can be used throughout the product life cycle to provide information about the technical performance, safety, and effectiveness of medical devices.
West Africa experienced an unprecedented and devastating Ebola outbreak in 2014/15. During the peak of the outbreak, Liberia was the most affected country with more than 100 cases per week. Dr.
Drs. Markus Buehler, David Kaplan, and Joyce Wong will present an update on their U01 project ("Models to predict protein biomaterial performance"). The weibinar will describe progress on establishing a set of tools, data, and software that will be shared with the community for multiscale simulation of processing, testing, and design of silk and silk-inspired fibers.
Many sources of variability are inherently present in biomechanics. Intersubject variability includes differences in the geometry and mechanical properties of anatomical structures, as well as in loading and joint mechanics. When considering orthopaedic implants, alignment of the components also contains significant variability. Probabilistic analysis provides a framework to assess the impact of these sources of variability on performance measures.
The NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research, a group of 14 NIH Institutes, Centers and Offices (ICOs) that support research on the nervous system, released a Request for Information (RFI) on the Proposed Funding Priorities for Neuroscience Research and Input on Cross-Cutting Opportunities. This RFI seeks input on future Blueprint activities and investments that have the potential to make the broadest possible impact for
