Project cornerstones
Three major cornerstones of the project are:
- the cellular models of cardiac electrophysiology developed over many years by Denis Noble's group at Oxford ( http://noble.physiol.ox.ac.uk/ )
- the extensive work underpinning computational modelling of the whole heart by Peter Hunter's group in Auckland ( http://www.bioeng.auckland.ac.nz/home/home.php )
- Grid software already developed by several of the partners, particularly CCLRC ( http://www.e-science.clrc.ac.uk/web )
The Oxford and Auckland groups have played a major role in setting up and promoting the IUPS Physiome project. The picture shows a view of a whole heart model developed in the Physiome project.
