Bioengineering uses computational models to link molecular data to organ function. This integrative physiology approach connects genetic profiles and cell behavior to whole-body physiological measurements.

Area of Science:

  • Bioengineering
  • Computational Biology
  • Integrative Physiology

Background:

  • Physiological systems analysis relies on computational solutions of physical laws applied to detailed anatomical models.
  • Linking biological organization across scales (proteins to organs) enables patient-specific insights.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the state of bioengineering analyses of physiological systems.
  • To discuss tools for tackling complexity in multi-scale biological modeling.

Main Methods:

  • Computational solution of physical conservation laws on anatomically detailed geometric models.
  • Multi-scale modeling integrating molecular, cellular, tissue, and organ levels.
  • Development of ontologies, markup languages, and distributed databases for model organization.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated potential to link genetic profiles (e.g., cardiac ion channels) to physiological measurements (e.g., ECG).
  • Highlighted the need for models incorporating anatomy, physics, and mechanics for organ function analysis (e.g., lung function).

Conclusions:

  • Integrative physiology is crucial for interpreting genomic and proteomic data.
  • Bioengineering is evolving into a quantitative, computer-intensive discipline for understanding complex physiological systems.
