Abstract
The method involves computationally modeling a placenta by simulating physical placenta models with computational in silico models. The simulated data is compared with actual data from the physical models, and the simulation is iterated until a match is achieved. The method may also include calibrating diffusion parameters for testing substances, and configuring the models for analyzing instances of fluid-induced shear and substance transport. The simulated data may be used to obtain maternal-fetal pharmacokinetic in silico placenta models, and the method may be used to obtain predictions for time-dependent concentrations of molecules in fetal circulation. The computational models may consider instances of fluid-diffusive transport and carrier-mediated transport in calculations and determinations of transport characteristics and values of different testing substances.
