Overview

Ismo Virtanen is affiliated with the University of Helsinki in Finland. Their research work primarily spans the field of Medicine, with a focus on the subfield of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism. Within this domain, the main topics of Virtanen's work include hyperglycemia and glycemic control in critically ill and hospitalized patients.

The scientist's recent publications are concentrated in the venue Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research). The published papers in 2020 include the following:

  • ECC-LIPID17 POPC-POPG 50:50 MD simulation, Na+ counterions and 100mM CaCl2, 298K (2020) in Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)
  • ECC-LIPID17 POPC-POPG 50:50 MD simulation, Na+ counterions and 100mM CaCl2, 298K (2020) in Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)
  • ECC-LIPID17 POPC-POPG 50:50 MD simulation, Na+ counterions, 298K (2020) in Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)
  • ECC-LIPID17 POPC-POPG 50:50 MD simulation, Na+ counterions and 1000mM CaCl2, 298K (2020) in Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)

These publications are focused on molecular dynamics simulations involving lipid bilayers with specific ion counterions and varying concentrations. The research incorporates detailed computational studies at physiological temperature conditions.

Virtanen frequently collaborates with O. H. Samuli Ollila, as indicated by multiple coauthored papers. This partnership is reflected through repeated joint contributions in their research endeavors.
