| An, Gary C
Assoc Prof in Surgery-Trauma/Critical Care http://www.swarm.org/index.php/User:Gary_An docgca@aol.com 312/695-4835 Suite 650 NMH/676 N Saint Clair Chicago IL 60611 Interests Inflammation; Bioinformatics ; Critical Care; Molecular Biology; Drug Discovery; Surgery Research Description My research focuses on the utilization of agent-based modeling for multi-scale modeling of acute inflammation. Agent levels include cells and molecules, with the goal of simulating organ- and organism-level behaviors from these generative mechanisms. While the focus of my models have primarily been on the pathophysiology of sepsis and multiple organ failure, in a more general sense I am interested in using agent-based modeling as a means of dynamic knowledge representation to augment the biomedical research process. With respect to acute inflammation, the ubiquitousness of the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms suggest the application of this methodology to such area as oncogenesis, transplant immunology/rejection, autoimmune disease, wound healing/scarring, atherosclerosis and aging. I am currently using NetLogo as my primary agent-based modeling platform, but am involved with the development of SPARK (Simple Platform for Agent-based Representation of Knowledge http://www.pitt.edu/~cirm/spark/ ) currently being done at the University of Pittsburgh. I am also interested in automated text analysis/information extraction from biomedical texts, formal knowledge representation in biomedicine and the development of methods for evolving biomedical ontologies. These goals form a "front-end" to high-level modeling tools (such as MetaABM http://www.metascapeabm.com/ ) and are intended to facilitate the ability for biomedical knowledge to be represented, communicated and evaluated via executable models. I am also involved in projects directed at developing methods to execute ABMs on massively parallel computing platforms. I believe this is a vital development necessary for true, multi-scale, biologically relevant simulation. |

| Issa, Nabil M
Asst Prof in Surgery-Trauma/Critical Care nissa@northwestern.edu 312/695-4835 Suite 650 NMH/676 N Saint Clair Chicago IL 60611 Interests Patient Safety; Critical Care Outcomes; Surgical Education; Simulation; Trauma; Surgery Research Description I am interested in developing educational tools used for the surgical education curriculum of medical students, residents and fellows. This includes, lecture design and content, as well as the use of simulators for assessment and training. I am also interested in protocol development and implementation as well as patient outcomes research in the surgical ICU. |
