Responsibilities
Join our team and build the future of personalized medicine, changing the way diseases are understood, and therapies are customized to the individual
We are building the first-ever Immune Digital Twin – a personalizable computer replica of the immune system – to enable everyone and anyone to assess and optimize the health of their immune system and simulate and predict its future ability to respond to diseases
To fully understand the etiology and pathology of systemic diseases, Digital Twin Innovation Hub is developing technology capable of integrating multiple mathematical approaches to fully represent and predict the governing mechanisms at each biological level and simultaneously across all levels to develop a Digital Twin of the human immune system
Integration with state-of-the-art computing and artificial intelligence is needed because the algorithms used to simulate and interrogate the dynamics for even one cell type – which can comprise billions of individual cells – are computationally expensive to solve for even a fraction of the actual cell count
Digital Twin Innovation Hub is also developing advanced visualizations that can represent the intricacies of the immune system while facilitating engagement with the technology by multidisciplinary audiences
Our team is composed of computational- and experimental scientists, and software- and Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning engineers
