In Mechanobiology and Vascular Biomechanics Lab, Dr. Dabagh’s group seek to develop innovative precision strategies for diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of cancer patients and patients suffering from main vascular diseases. The group develops sophisticated multiscale, personalized computational models to discover fundamental molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the diseases progression. Empowering multiscale models of full organ and arterial tree enable them to study the influence of local diseases on global human health.
