Computational Modeling in Biomedicine: With the Eggs in Multiple Maskets

Computational modeling is one of the pillars of the scientific method. Unsurprisingly, it has also become paramount for biomedical research when it entails various data modalities and numerous biological, physical and chemical processes. Moreover, the significant data quantities and heterogeneities pose challenges that are well-suited for computational approaches. Here, I will present some of my computational work on biomedically relevant questions. The talk will comprise three main topics, namely age-related conditions of the brain, brain development and cryopreservation. Finally, I’ll reflect on the current state-of-the-art and will also discuss promising future directions.
