	Brief Biography: Dr. Patrick Norris is an Assistant Professor of Surgery in the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. He earned his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Vanderbilt University in 2006 in the study of heart rate variability (HRV) and other metrics of physiological complexity in trauma patients. He has designed and implemented continuous physiological data capture and decision support systems including SIMON (Signal Interpretation and MONitoring), which has been applied to the discovery, refinement, and validation of HRV and other prototype new vital signs. The system’s modular architecture offers a high degree of reliability and scalability for dense physiologic data capture, processing, and decision support tasks, and it has been in use continuously since 1998 in the Vanderbilt trauma intensive care unit (ICU). In addition to his ongoing research in patient monitoring, critical care decision support, and physiological complexity, Dr. Norris collaborates on a variety of other projects aimed at identifying genetic, metabolic, and immunologic predictors of outcomes in surgical critical care.

His research interests include methods and model development for complex biological systems, including systems identification, model discrimination, and systems design. More specifically, the group develops computational methods for studying and designing complex networks that establish cellular functions to elucidate their operating and design principles. All projects involve close collaborations with experimental biologists and computer / systems scientists.

	Brief Biography: Yoram Vodovotz, Ph.D., is a Professor of Surgery, Immunology, Computational and Systems Biology, Clinical and Translational Science, and Communication Science and Disorders at the University of Pittsburgh. He is currently the President of the Society for Complexity in Acute Illness. His research interests include the biology of acute inflammation in shock states, chronic inflammatory diseases, wound healing, malaria, and restenosis. His work utilizes mathematical modeling to unify and gain insight into the biological interactions that characterize these inflammatory conditions. As the Director of the Center for Inflammation and Regenerative Modeling (CIRM; www.mirm.pitt.edu/cirm) at the University of Pittsburgh’s McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine, he has been involved in the mathematical modeling of acute inflammatory states (e.g. septic or hemorrhagic shock, wound healing), including cellular and physiological elements, as part of a large, interdisciplinary collaborative team. He is also a co-founder of Immunetrics, Inc., a company that is commercializing this mathematical modeling work.
