The mission of the laboratory is to carry out research and teaching in the field of biomechanics. The computational approach is used as a means for studying biological entities at scales that span from that of the organs to that of the molecules. Activities are carried out by two main laboratory groups:

• CB Lab - Laboratory of Cardiovascular Biomechanics. CB Lab develops cutting-edge computational models for the analysis of tissues, organs, and devices, with an emphasis on cardiovascular applications. Responsible: Emiliano Votta, emiliano.votta@polimi.it.

• BiomolEng Lab - Biomolecular Engineering Laboratory. BiomolEng Lab focuses on the investigation and engineering of biomolecules and biomaterials by using molecular modeling simulations. Responsible: Alfonso Gautieri, alfonso.gautieri@polimi.it.

The lab also works in close contact with C3D Lab, a joint initiative of PoliMI researchers with the IRCCS Policlinico San Donato and Università degli Studi di Pavia (reference person Francesco Sturla, Francesco.Sturla@grupposandonato.it).
