    This core group of faculty will bring together expertise across multiple disciplines to enable the creation of a whole person digital twin that can then be used to develop, inform, and influence health and wellness for a real person. It can aid in personalized drugs and treatment, and in the creation of artificial tissues and organs to replace diseased organs.
