Want to know more about cardiovascular modeling and computational biomechanics? Check out my academic website here: ericaschwarz.github.io

Our new paper postnatal pulmonary artery development was just published through JRSI! We combined gene expression, wall composition, biomechanical data, and computational modeling to understand PA maturation and predict responses. See it here: doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2…

Excited to share our newly published work showing how vascular insults contribute to simulate distinct aneurysm phenotypes (with future applications in patient-specific risk prediction) Check it out here: doi.org/10.1007/s10237… #biomechanics #mechanobiology

What do dynamic protein complexes look like *inside the cell*? Excited to share our work, led by superstar @ramyarangan, on cryoDRGN-ET, a new approach in the ❄️🐉 software for reconstructing and visualizing structures from in situ cryo-ET data. 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our lab's latest - just out in CMAME in honor of Tom Hughes 80th birthday. "A Fluid-Solid-Growth Solver for Cardiovascular Modeling" @schwarzish and co-authors achieved the first full 3D implementation of the constrained mixture model! authors.elsevier.com/c/1hZBv_12dr6Y…

New review paper just out in @BiophysRev - we must go beyond CFD alone for comprehensive predictions of disease progression and complex clinical outcomes. Contributions from @schwarzish M. Pfaller and L. Pegolotti. @simvascular @StanfordCVI @ICMEStanford aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/5.…

Vote for the Vascular Model Repository in the @Iamherox DataWorks! prize finalist round! We provide >150 @simvascular compatible projects for #AI , #precisionmedicine, and medical device design. @StanfordEng @StanfordCORES @StanfordChild @ICMEStanford @WiDS_Worldwide Please RT!

Excited to wake up at our lab retreat to this beautiful cover designed by @suhaasaz and @pamr33, not only top scientists but also artists! #proudsciencemom Read the paper here: rdcu.be/cTyrx

Caught COVID and couldn't attend #SB3C2022 this year - so sad to miss everyone. Thanks to my fab lab for keeping on without me! Great job everyone and shout out to Tea for making runner up in the undergrad paper competition! Join our team for the @simvascular workshop in the AM.

I CANNOT EXPRESS HOW EXCITED I AM to have been chosen by @wenyilee_ for @AuthorMentorM #AMMR9!!!!!!! I poured my heart and soul into this story. Thank you for believing in me and my characters. I can't wait to make it better with your mentorship <3

@wastyk @wenyilee_ @AuthorMentorM Literally cannot wait to see this book come to life!

Simulations reveal that ducklings swimming in a single-file formation behind the parent can achieve a wave-riding benefit whereby the wave drag turns positive. Gives a new meaning to "get your ducks in a row" 🦆@JFluidMech #dynamic #equilibrium #swimming doi.org/10.1017/jfm.20…

Curious about how tissue-engineered vascular grafts perform in Fontan patients? Check out the paper I wrote with John Kelly @nationwidekids #chd #singleventricle #tissueengineering nature.com/articles/s4153…

@MarsdenStanford @StanfordBioE @AHA_Research Thank you! Very excited for this opportunity.

Congratulations to @StanfordBioE PhD student Erica Schwarz for receiving a predoctoral fellowship from @AHA_Research! She will study growth and remodeling of tissue engineered vascular grafts in #Fontan patients. #CHD #singleventricle #tissueengineering
