Welcome to the Laboratory for Systems Medicine

The newly established Laboratory for Systems Medicine at University of Florida Health is focused on computational and mathematical approaches to human health.

The Laboratory for Systems Medicine was established in 2020 as an initiative funded by the Department of Medicine and the Office of the President of UFHealth. The overarching focus is the development and application of mathematical and computational technology for the improvement of human health. Interests include multi-scale modeling and control of disease processes, systems biology, and computational immunology. We are highly collaborative, maintaining and seeking partnerships with clinical, basic science, computational, and private sector labs and entities. Our expertise includes the development of mechanistic and data-driven multi-scale models of disease-relevant processes, model-driven control and optimization problems, and cutting-edge data science methods applied to high-dimensional data from the molecular to the patient scale.

Forum on immune digital twins: a meeting report

Medical digital twins are computational models of human biology relevant to a given medical condition, which are tailored to an individual patient, thereby predicting the course of disease and individualized treatments, an important goal of personalized medicine. The immune system, which has a central role in many diseases, is highly heterogeneous between individuals, and thus poses a major challenge for this technology. In February 2023, an international group of experts convened for two days to discuss these challenges related to immune digital twins.

SimService: A Lightweight Library for Building Simulation Services in Python.

Integrative biological modeling requires software infrastructure to launch, interconnect, and execute simulation software components without loss of functionality. SimService is a software library that enables deploying simulations in integrated applications as memory-isolated services with interactive proxy objects in the Python programming language. SimService supports customizing the interface of proxies so that simulation developers and users alike can tailor generated simulation instances according to model, method, and integrated application.
