Welcome to the Biomedical Modeling Laboratory !

The BML is always looking for new team members. The skills of the team are usually focused on numerical analysis, mathematical modeling, programming, medical imaging, and instrumentation. The group has a wide modeling focus in the domains of biofluids, biomechanics, biothermal transport, imaging, and electropotential applications. If you like to explore the potential of computing or the power of simulation within the context of procedural medicine, my laboratory may be the place for you. With respect to applications, much of the work is focused at improving procedural medicine. 

About Us

Michael I. Miga, PhD, Principal Investigator

 Michael I. Miga, Ph.D. received his Ph.D. from Dartmouth College specializing in biomedical engineering. He joined the faculty in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Vanderbilt University in 2001 and is the Harvie Branscomb Professor at Vanderbilt. He is a Chair, Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, Radiology and Radiological Sciences, Neurological Surgery, and Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery.  He is co-founder and Director of the Vanderbilt Institute for Surgery and Engineering (VISE, www.vanderbilt.edu/vise). He is also director of the Biomedical Modeling Laboratory.  He has been PI on several NIH grants concerned with image-guided brain, liver, kidney, and breast surgery. He is also PI and Director of a novel NIH T32 training program entitled, ‘Training Program for Innovative Engineering Research in Surgery and Intervention’ that is focused on the creation of translational technologies for treatment and discovery in surgery and intervention. He also was a co-inventor of the first FDA cleared image guided liver surgery system. Dr. Miga is an AIMBE and SPIE Fellow and has served as a charter member of the Biomedical Imaging Technology (BMIT-B) and the Bioengineering, Technology, and Surgical Sciences (BTSS) Study Sections at NIH. His research interests are in computational modeling, inverse problems/computational imaging, soft-tissue biomechanics/biotransport, technology-guided therapy, image/imaging-guided surgery and intervention, and data-driven procedural medicine.
