In diesem Sommersemester wird die im WiSe 2022/23 erfolgreich gestartete Vortragsreihe Medical Information Sciences fortgesetzt. Renommierte Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler unterschiedlicher Fachdisziplinen und Forschungsstandorte geben jeden Dienstag ab 17:30 Uhr Einblicke in aktuelle Fragestellungen und Anwendungsgebiete des breiten Forschungsfeldes Medical Information Sciences.

We will introduce the concept of computational modeling & simulation of organ systems in the human body using the example of cardiac electrophysiology. According to the multi-scale nature of the biological system, we will start from the ion channel level and work our way up to the cellular and eventually organ scale.

We will then use the concept of ensemble simulation spaces to discuss how modeling and simulation can be employed for digital twin applications enabling personalized medicine and for creating large virtual cohorts of digital chimeras enabling in silico trials and machine learning solutions.

Applications include the identification of the best ablation and/or pharmacological strategy to treat atrial fibrillation and prediction of therapy success.
