Abstract
Digital twins in biomedical research, i.e. virtual replicas of biological entities such as cells, organs, or entire organisms, hold great potential to advance personalized healthcare. As all biological processes happen in space, there is a growing interest in modeling biological entities within their native context. Leveraging generative artificial intelligence (AI) and high-volume biomedical data profiled with spatial technologies, researchers can recreate spatially-resolved digital representations of a physical entity with high fidelity. In application to biomedical fields such as computational pathology, oncology, and cardiology, these generative digital twins (GDT) thus enable compelling in silico modeling for simulated interventions, facilitating the exploration of ‘what if’ causal scenarios for clinical diagnostics and treatments tailored to individual patients. Here, we outline recent advancements in this novel field and discuss the challenges and future research directions.
