When digital innovation supports cardiac research…
Join up the Liryc within the University of Bordeaux!
The Institute of Cardiac Electrical Disorders (LIRYC) in Bordeaux, France has been at the forefront of ablation therapy for atrial fibrillation, having pioneered the technique. Though it is the most efficacious treatment for the disease, the disease returns in a significant number of patients a few years following an initial successful treatment. It is hoping to reduce recurrence of atrial fibrillation using personalized atrial electrophysiological models, called digital twins.
The DAWN-AF project, funded by the Horizon2020 ERA PerMed programme and incorporating partners from Austria and Chile, aims to develop a personalized medicine approach, based on computer modelling, for atrial fibrillation ablation to prevent its recurrence.
Physiological digital twins of patient hearts will be created from imaging (MR/CT) and calibrated using machine learning which will analyze and adjust ECG recordings, as well as clinically acquired electrograms from implanted or portable devices. The models created will be at the leading edge, and of the highest fidelity, incorporating fine, distinct anatomical details while using advanced computational/numerical methods to keep run time tractable. Machine learning will be employed to analyze clinical data in real-time to decide the optimal ablation strategy.
In this context, we are looking for a Post-doc or researcher in digital twins to treat atrial fibrillation , with experience in machine learning and experience with biomedical signals .
Votre mission
We will create patient-specific high resolution atrial models which are electrophysiologically tuned using the electrocardiogram.
Multiple models will be generated based on different clinically unmeasurable model assumptions, and ablation sets designed for each.
During the ablation procedure, machine learning will be used to analyze electroanatomical mapping data to infer the correct model and the accompanying ablation set in real-time.
