CoBi Core provides a one-stop-shop for simulation-based medicine through established collaborations with in-house in vivo and in vitro experimentation, imaging, and device design facilities:

Tammy Owings, DEng, Gait Laboratory - gait analysis, strength testing, MR imaging
Robb Colbrunn, MSc, BioRobotics and Mechanical Testing Core - robotics testing of joints, mechanical testing of tissues
Amit Vasanji, PhD, ImageIQ, Inc. - image acquisition, analysis, and processing
Karl West, MSc, Engineering Core - engineering design; mechanical, electronics and polymer prototyping
Melissa Young, PhD, Nitinol Center - cardiovascular device design, materials science, stents manufacturing and testing

CoBi Core has been translating the utility of computational modeling and simulation to the field by past and ongoing collaborative work with diverse clinical and research groups. Examples of such collaborations are:
