Blanca Rodriguez (scientist)

Blanca Rodriguez is a computational scientist and professor of Computational Medicine at the University of Oxford. Her research focuses on developing multiscale computational models of the heart, integrating data from the molecular level to the whole organ to understand cardiac function in health and disease.

Professor Rodriguez's work utilizes mathematical modeling and computational simulation to investigate cardiac electrophysiology, mechanics, and structure. Her research group develops novel algorithms and software tools to facilitate the creation and analysis of these complex models. A key goal of her work is to translate computational models into clinical applications, aiming to improve the diagnosis, risk stratification, and treatment of heart conditions, including arrhythmias and heart failure.

She has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals and presented her work at numerous international conferences. Professor Rodriguez has received several prestigious awards and fellowships recognizing her contributions to the field of computational cardiology. Her work is often conducted in collaboration with experimentalists and clinicians, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to addressing complex biomedical challenges.
