Presentation / Conference Contribution
Clerx, M., Augustin, D., Dale-Evans, A. R., & Mirams, G. R. (2022, September). Derivative-based Inference for Cell and Channel Electrophysiology Models. Presented at 2022 Computing in Cardiology Conference, Tampere, Finland (online)

Models of ionic currents or of the cardiac action potential (AP) are frequently calibrated by defining an error function that quantifies the mismatch between simulations and data, and using numerical optimisation to find the parameter values that min...

Normalisation of Action Potential Data Recorded with Sharp Electrodes Maximises Its Utility for Model Development (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barral, Y. S. H., Polonchuk, L., R. Mirams, G., Clerx, M., Page, G., Sweat, K., Abi-Gerges, N., Wang, K., & Gavaghan, D. J. (2022, September). Normalisation of Action Potential Data Recorded with Sharp Electrodes Maximises Its Utility for Model Development. Presented at 2022 Computing in Cardiology Conference, Tampere, Finland

In silico models of cardiomyocyte electrophysiology describe the various ionic currents and fluxes that lead to the formation of action potentials (APs). Experimental data used to create such models can be recorded in adult human cardiac trabeculae u...

Modelling the Effect of Intracellular Calcium in the Rundown of L-Type Calcium Current (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Agrawal, A., Clerx, M., Wang, K., Polonchuk, L., Gavaghan, D. J., & Mirams, G. R. (2022, September). Modelling the Effect of Intracellular Calcium in the Rundown of L-Type Calcium Current. Presented at 2022 Computing in Cardiology Conference, Tampere, Finland

The L-type calcium current (ICaL) is a key current of the heart playing an important role in the contraction of the cardiomyocyte. Patch-clamp recordings of ionic currents can be associated with a reduction of the current magnitude with time (termed...
