Computational Medicine

There is no consistent definition of //computational medicine// yet. So I will come up with my own general definition for now: Computational medicine is the application of computing methods to model, simulate and visualize medical processes in a virtual environment.

//Computational Medicine// is commonly divided into four areas. For now I take the definition by JHU to clarify what Computational Medicine covers.

Computational Molecular Medicine (pharmacogenomics, metagenomics, ...)
Computational Physiology (disease process models, pharmacokinectic/pharmatcodynamic models, ...)
Computational Anatomy (imaging, implantable devices, ...)
Computational Healthcare (epidemiology, medical apps, ... )

For details look into the following paper: Computational Medicine - Translating Models to Clinical Care

Dynamics of affective disorders (cellular, tissue, organ, psychical, social)
Tissue healing processes after severve trauma (cellular, tissue, organ, organ system)
Multi-scale tumor dynamics (molecular, cellular, tissue, organ)
Computational surgery with focus on neuro and trauma surgery (tissue, organ, organ system, organism)
Modeling techniques for physiological pathophysiological processes
Foundational algorithms of tissue formation
