Announcements
March 2008
The Resource Facility for Population Kinetics (RFPK) is pleased to offer an Introductory Workshop on Population Analysis using the System for Population Kinetics in Seattle, WA, USA, on March 24-25, 2008. The two-day workshop will feature: Model development, testing and identifiability; hands-on introduction to differential equation and numerical modeling; individual and population models, population distributions; approaches to population analysis based on likelihood approximations. The understanding, practical usage and implementation of modeling concepts described in the workshop will be reinforced through hands-on use of published data sets.

April 2007
Simulation and Modeling Course at the University of Washington, Seattle
The NSR Physiome Project is pleased to announce that it will be holding a series of seven-day simulation and modeling courses. The first course titled, "Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems Modeling: From Cell to Organ", will be held September 8-14, 2007 at the University of Washington, Seattle. This first course is tailored for students, investigators, and clinicians with little or no experience in modeling. Please see the course pages for more information. Courses are funded by NIH/NHLBI 1 T15 HL008516.
April 2006
Kidney Physiome Project is Official
European and American scientists gathered at the April, 2006 FASEB meeting in San Francisco, California, USA to mark the official start of the Kidney Physiome Project. This is the first whole-organ kidney project of its kind. The Kidney Physiome project was spearheaded by Dr. Randy Thomas, Rennes, France. See The Quantitative Kidney Database (QKDB) for more information.
January 2006
EuroPhysiome Establishes Biomed Town
A coalition of EuroPhysiome scientists have established Biomed Town – a virtual town where European scientists and their guests can meet, greet, and strengthen the foundation of the EuroPhysiome project through mutual collaboration.
October 2005
Dr. Chin-Long Lin Receives $916,909 NIH Grant to Develop Digital Lung
Dr. Ching-Long Lin, a professor of mechanical and industrial engineering at the University of Iowa College of Engineering, was granted a three-year NIH/NIBIB grant to develope a digital human lung. He will collaborate with Dr. Merryn H. Tawhai, lead scientist in developing the Lung Physiome, University of Auckland, New Zealand.
April 2005
American Physiological Society Cardiovascular Section Wiggers Lectureship (April 4, 2005).
Dr. James Bassingthwaighte from the University of Washington, and co-founder of The Physiome Project, was presented the Wiggers Award for lifetime accomplishments in cardiovascular research.
February 2005
Wired (February, 13, 2005), The Doctor Will See Your Prototype Now. The Physiome Project and Dr. Peter Hunter, director of the Bioengineering Institute in Auckland, New Zealand go Wired. The magazine projects the vision behind the Physiome Project to a larger, mainstream audience. In the article, the public learns how simulation will vastly improve the specificity and integrity of their individual medical treatments.
