The BioComp department forms the core of a Norwegian Centre of Excellence, Center for Biomedical Computing, hosted by Simula. The vision of the centre is to develop and apply novel simulation technologies to reach new understanding of complex physical processes affecting human health. We aim in particular to increase understanding of flows in the human body and thereby to improve clinical treatment.
This research is strongly multi-disciplinary, with teams of experts in physical modelling, mathematics, numerical methods, scientific software development, bioengineering, medical research, and clinical treatment.
