COLLABORATING IN RESEARCH: UNIVERSITY HOSTS SYMPOSIUM ON LIVING HEART & VIRTUAL HUMAN TWIN

ong Island University hosted the Eighth Annual International Symposium on the Living Heart & Virtual Human Twin. The event brought together the world’s largest gathering of experts dedicated to using virtual human twins in biomedical research, regulatory science and clinical care. The Symposium was held at LIU Brooklyn’s Kumble Theater.

The Dassault Systèmes Living Heart Project, started in 2014, has grown to be the leading initiative in the world focused on creating a digital twin of a human. The project delivered the first-ever whole heart simulation, sparking a transformation of medical research. This success inspired the subsequent creation of the Living Brain and Lungs.

In addition to Living Heart, Brain and Lung developments, this year’s Symposium featured a kickoff for the Living Liver Project, led through Long Island University’s Center of Excellence for Life Science in partnership with Dassault Systèmes.

“We were honored to host this gathering of global leaders who are transforming medical and pharmaceutical research as well as the launch of the Living Liver Project,” said Long Island University
