We listed below a collection of interesting web sites of projects and researchers which are very much related to the Sangria Project escope. Clicking on a thumbnail will take you to the original web site.

Blood Circulation and the Heart.
Charles S. Peskin and David M. McQueen, New York University, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences.

It's not everyday new life comes into being as a result of calculations on a supercomputer. But it's not much of an exaggeration to say that's what happened when Charles Peskin and David McQueen cranked up their heart model for the first time on the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center's CRAY C90.

Simulation of cardiovascular and other biomedical problems.
AEA Technology Engineering Software

The project will produce a simulation tool to study the human cardiovascular system, and will advance significantly the use of simulation within the bio-medical community at a time when the use of prostheses is increasing substantially and clinicians are participating as never before in the engineering of organ replacements. The increasing availability of relatively inexpensive High-Performance Computing and Networking (HPCN) means that these problems are, for the first time, tractable. (more...)
Medical Devices and Artificial Organs
McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine

To realize the vast potential of tissue engineering and other techniques aimed at repairing damaged or diseased tissues and organs, the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and UPMC Health System have established the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine (MIRM). As an entity, the MIRM will serve as a single base of operations for the university's leading scientists and clinical faculty working to develop tissue engineering, cellular therapies, biosurgery and artificial and biohybrid organ devices.

David A. Steinman, Ph.D.
The John P. Robarts Research Institute.
"Research interests in Hemodynamics Factors in Atherogenesis, Improving Stroke Risk Assessment, Optimization of Bypass Graft Surgery, Virtual MRI and Doppler Ultrasound, Visualization of Pulsatile Flow, 3D Reconstruction of Vascular Anatomy, and Turbulence and Pulsatile Flow."
Danny Bluestein, Assistant Professor
Department of Biomedical Engineering, SUNY Stony Brook
"My primary research interests are in biofluids and cardiovascular pathologies. I am studying blood flow in the cardiovascular system, with a special interest in flow induced cardiovascular pathologies, and the design optimization of cardiovascular prostheses. I envision to bring recent advancements made in various fields, namely numerical modeling, non-invasive flow measurement techniques, and innovative blood measurement techniques, to better understand the mechanisms underlying cardiovascular pathologies such as stenoses, aneurysms, thrombus formation, and pathological flow fields past prosthetic heart valves and various blood recirculating devices that may lead to cardioembolic strokes."
Aaron Fogelson, Professor
Department of Mathematics, University of Utah
