Sacks, Chair Computational Medicine is an emerging field that employs computer modeling, AGENDA simulation, and data-enabling technologies to promote advances in medical diagnostics and therapies. There are numerous advantages with applying 8:00-9:00 a.m. – Breakfast – computer technology to simulate human pathophysiology, such as providing physicians the ability to try “what-if” scenarios to understand the effects of a 9:00-10:10 a.m. First Session The Dell Medical School therapy on a patient. The result is optimized and cost effective medicine with Juan Sanchez UT Vice-President for Research reduced mortality, re-operative rates, and recovery times. Kirk Watson Texas State Senator Success in Computational Medicine requires a strategic partnership between the Clay Johnston UT Dell Medical School Dean computational and medical sciences. The Institute for Computational 10:10-10:30 a.m. – Coffee Break – Engineering and Sciences (ICES) possesses tremendous expertise in computational methods and technologies. With the advent of the Dell Medical 10:30-11:50 a.m. Second Session Computation in Science, Engineering, School, we now have the ability to co-develop and implement novel and Medicine computational-based methods of diagnosis and treatment. J. Tinsley Oden ICES Director; UT Associate VP for Research To assist all parties with understanding our vision, ICES is hosting this Ron Peshock Assistant Dean for Informatics conference to: UT Southwestern Medical Center Michael Sacks Director, ICES Center for Cardiovascular 1. Provide attendees an overview of Computational Medicine, Simulation demonstrating its current and future importance in medicine. 11:50-1:20 p.m. – Lunch – 2. Increase the visibility of computational research being performed by ICES and others at The University of Texas at Austin, which include: 1:20-3:00 p.m. Third Session ICES Computational Medicine Research • Cardiovascular research • Cancer research Thomas Hughes Director, Computational Mechanics Group Ron Elber Director, Center for Computational Life Sciences • Drug design and delivery methods and BioloGy 3. Provide a forum for discussion and future collaboration. Inderjit Dhillon Director, Center for BiG Data Analytics Michael Sacks Director, Center for Cardiovascular Simulation We will also be announcing a proposed collaboration between the emerging Chandrajit Bajaj Director, Computational Visualization Center ICES Division for Computational Medicine (IDCM) and the Dell Medical School. This collaboration will build on existing areas of research related to 3:00-5:00 p.m. – Wine & Cheese Reception – Computational Medicine, and serve to attract outstanding faculty and students. .
