A research group headed by BME professor James Grotberg created the initial computational model capable of forecasting how liquid medicines move through human lungs. This innovation offers fresh perspectives on managing acute respiratory distress syndrome. The University of Michigan Health system treats over 2.1 million patients annually, producing vast datasets that uncover previously unnoticed health trends and patterns. Leveraging the institution's advanced computing capabilities, researchers can simulate tissue architecture and performance across scales - from molecular interactions to entire organ systems - enhancing comprehension of processes like cellular ion movement, arterial blood circulation, and pulmonary airflow.
