Big congratulations to Dr. Xingrui Mou on defending his PhD and becoming the 3rd PhD grad from #MusahLab! 🎉 His work on engineering vascularized #microfluidic #OrgansOnChips & disease modeling is remarkable. His next stop: Postdoc at #NYSCF! Check out his research publications: tinyurl.com/MusahLab

Today is International Day Of Persons With Disabilities (IDPD)! Duke BME is dedicated to ensuring that our department is an open and inclusive community for all, and we appreciate the perspectives and contributions of differently-abled people as we all work together to address medical problems.

Doctors face challenges in treating Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia, especially in predicting intervention outcomes. Our method converts 2D angiography into 3D flow models, allowing for preoperative simulation of interventions. This non-invasive tool can accurately predict post-op flow rates.

Thrilled to be featured in an article on digital twins in healthcare! 🌟 🔑 Takeaway: #DigitalTwins simulate treatments, predict outcomes, and personalize care. From predicting heart health to refining cancer therapies, the potential is game-changing. 📎 duke.is/dhi #AI #HealthcareInnovation

Digital twins in healthcare: Revolutionizing personalized medical care

Digital twins create virtual replicas of patients to simulate treatments and predict outcomes, changing the way we can approach treatment.
