Biomedical Engineering

• Study the mechanisms involved in the progression of chronic nephropathy
• Study the mechanobiology of vascular cells
• Study morphological and hemodynamic alterations in different vascular districts and the role of hemodynamics in the development of vascular damage
• Study the molecular mechanisms that determine the development of stenosis in the vascular access
• Study the relationship between sound alteration and vascular damage, vascular wall vibrations and vascular damage
• Study of the cytotoxicity of micro and nano-particulate matter from brake systems
• Develop segmentation and quantification techniques of anatomical structures and pathological lesions on diagnostic images in response to specific clinical needs
• Identify and validate new imaging biomarkers
• Conduct clinical validation of new non-invasive imaging techniques for the study of organ physiology and pathophysiology
• Develop and validate information systems for managing clinical data and images generated in controlled clinical trials and in clinical practice
• Development of diagnostic and predictive models of disease progression, response to treatment and clinical outcome based on machine learning techniques applied to multimodal data
