Our second five year project (Dec. '07 - present) focuses on creating high-fidelity computer models of epithelial tissue development, validated against independently derived data. These efforts will yield a patch of interfollicular virtual human epidermis with a dynamic and diverse range of physiological response. This project will also generate simulations for other epithelia and develop simulation tools for independent researchers and educators.

To improve anatomic modeling for medical training through simulation, this five year project (Sept '02 - Aug '07) focused on the development of enabling technology for modeling human organs or tissues, complete with physiological features. The resulting computational models incorporate biologically derived principles to produce robust, versatile schemes that represent structure and function of cellular components in rule based systems of encoding.

As part of an applied system to revolutionize medical care to the soldier, the Virtual Soldier Project involved designing physiological representations of individual soldiers (holographic medical electronic representations, or holomers). In support of this effort, our role during VSP Phase 1 (Dec '03 - Jun '05) focused on development of a rule-based CODEC for compression and decompression of medical images.
