4th invited lecture this week – in Shanghai, China

Events, News Posted on Sat, November 16, 2024 18:19:27

I actually made a mistake in the last post, saying that that lecture – at Öredev, Malmö, Sweden – was the third and last invited lecture that week. There was actually a fourth one upcoming: in China. This time it was at an international workshop on Digital therapeutics, i.e. eHealth and apps. It was largely focused on existing technologies, i.e. not only scientists were there, but also a lot of companies with products already on the markt, as well as the Food and Drug Administration, from the US. My lecture was given online, but a partner of mine went over there in person, to also have physical meetings, and to also help set up meetings in the New York/Boston area, to which I am travelling in the end of the month.

So – four invited presentations in one week, in four different cities, across two continents. I think that is actually a personal record 🙂

3rd invited lecture this week: at Øredev 2024

Events, News Posted on Thu, November 07, 2024 10:31:04

Today is the third and last public invited lecture this week. This time it is down in Hyllie, which is very close to the bridge between Malmö and Copenhagen, i.e. right on the border between the Sweden and Denmark. This lecture is again on our digital twins, and this time it is in a software and AI conference: Øredev 2024. This is a “normal” conference, which is not targeting scientists, but the general public, i.e. companies and normal citizen who are interested in software development and AI innovations, etc. This is fitting, because our research is turning increasingly more towards eHealth and app development, and even towards commercial app development via our spin-off companies. For this reason, we are also nowadays actively recruiting software and UX developers, and quite generally moving into a more public phase, targeting companies and the general public as potential customers and business partners, etc.

Seminar on AI and digital twins in healthcare

Events, News Posted on Mon, November 04, 2024 19:00:28

Today I, Gunnar Cedersund, am giving a lecture on digital twins in the beautiful city of Malå, up in the North of Sweden. The lecture is part of a week they have on the potential of AI in our evolving societies. Today’s event starts with a lecture on AI, then I talk about our digital twins, and finally there will be a panel debate, where also some politicians participate. Here is a link to the event, which I think is only attendable in person, even though my lecture and participation will be done via teams.

Welcome! 🙂

Lecture on Friday May 17 in the NBIS AI seminar series

Events, News, Systems biology and science Posted on Thu, May 16, 2024 11:25:59

On Friday, Gunnar Cedersund will give a lecture in the NBIS AI seminar series. NBIS is the National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Sweden, which is a core-facility spread out over all universities in Sweden. In other words, at each university in Sweden, there are some local bioinformaticians located, which helps out in projects. NBIS also arranges a seminar series on artificial intelligence (AI), and the next such lecture – on Friday May 17, at 10AM CET – features Gunnar Cedersund. Gunnar will talk about our digital twins, and about how they can be used to integrate a variety of data, both classical bioinformatics multi-omics data and behavioral and imaging data, into a personal data vault, and into a personalized copy of a patients. More information, abstract, and link to the online lecture is available here: https://scilifelab.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IJC/pages/2780758082/Meeting+59+2024-05-17



The IEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Conference (EMBC)

Events Posted on Mon, August 22, 2022 07:00:00

In the middle of July, Kajsa Tunedal went to Glasgow to attend the IEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Conference (EMBC) (https://embc.embs.org/2022/) and presented an ePoster: “Insights of Hemodynamic Changes in Hypertension and Diabetes through a 4D Flow MRI-Based Personalized Cardiovascular Model”. It was a great experience starting with a very scottish opening ceremony and followed by many interesting talks, workshops, and meetings with other modellers and researchers with interests in cardiovascular mechanisms and measurements.

Dancing Digital Twins – Seeing the music of Chopin and and Beethoven

Events Posted on Wed, April 27, 2022 23:00:44

After many years of preparations – 20+ years of developing the digital twins in general, and now 3-4 years of making them dance – the first lecture-performance is at last about to take place. On Thursday at 17.00 it happens! In this highly innovative event, you will not only be able to see with your eyes what happens in some of the best music ever written, but also be able to see inside a computer copy of some people in the audience – into their digital twins. By looking at and inside these digital twins, we will together explore what happens both in the body when you dance, and in the music that your twins are dancing to.

Does it sound intriguing?

Then come to Berzeliussalen at Linköping University, Campus US, on April 28, at 17-17.45. Welcome!
