Molly Maleckar

Molly Maleckar, a research professor of computational physiology at Simula Research Laboratory (Oslo, Norway), centers her work on multiscale mechanisms within cardiac and other human physiological systems, from the subcellular to the systemic level.

While trained primarily in the field of mechanistic, biophysically-based mathematical modeling in biology and physiology, her more recent work over the last decade has also incorporated AI and hybrid modeling approaches to uncover new strategies for insight into cardiac disease.

She is the Simula director and a work package lead for the ProCardioCentre for Innovation, a Norwegian Centre of Excellence focused on using AI and computational models to advance cardiovascular health. Her experience also includes the development and leadership of the Simula-University of Oslo-University of California San Diego Doctoral Programme and her prior tenure as Director of Modeling at the Allen Institute for Cell Science.
