Multi-scale modeling of healing myocardial infarcts: Interactions between mechanical environment, scar formation, and left ventricle function
(VTC)
Jeffrey Holmes
Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Medicine
University of Virginia
Charlottesville, Virginia
Dr. Jeffrey Holmes studies cardiac mechanics through a combination of in vivo, in vitro, and computational studies. His laboratory seeks to understand both the structural determinants of the mechanical properties of infarcted myocardium at various stages during healing and the effect of infarct mechanics on global ventricular function. Dr. Holmes received his medical degree and his doctorate in bioengineering from the University of California, San Diego. He was a member of the faculty at Columbia University until he moved his laboratory to the University of Virginia in 2007.
