New NIH award on cardiac modeling software infrastructure

We are thrilled to announce that we have been awarded a two-year R03 grant through the NIH’s Building Sustainable Software Tools for Open Science program to advance Cardinal, a new open-source software platform for simulating all major aspects of heart function. Cardinal will give researchers a powerful, physics-based framework for integrating clinical and experimental data to better understand disease mechanisms, test interventions, and develop personalized treatment strategies. This project will optimize Cardinal’s computational performance, improve portability across computing environments, and expand community resources—enabling more accurate, scalable, and accessible cardiac digital twin models for research and clinical translation.
