Research Program
Computational
Biomodeling Core (CoBi Core) addresses model development, simulation,
and related training needs of Cleveland Clinic researchers, other interested
academic institutions and industry partners. CoBi Core provides ten years
of experience in musculoskeletal biomechanics, with computational applications
in skeletal movements, muscle control and soft tissue deformations. The expertise
is available for development of modeling applications in other body segments
and biological systems. Additional scientific areas of interest include multi-physics
and multi-scale modeling and simulations.
Current Projects
- Design criteria for therapeutic footwear in diabetes (in collaboration with Cavanagh Laboratory)
- Efficient methods for multidomain biomechanical simulations (in collaboration with van den Bogert Laboratory)
In addition to these large projects, CoBi Core has a constant stream of small research projects initiated by internal and external investigators. In collaboration with the Medical Device Solutions, CoBi Core also provides simulation-based assessment of medical devices.
