    Topic: Enabling Digital Twins for Predictive Oncology
    Synopsis: Recently both the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and the National Institutes of Health have spearheaded the efforts in identifying the needs and opportunities to advance digital twins in various applications across science, engineering, and medicine. In radiation oncology, cancer patient digital twins use mechanistic modeling and simulation, high-performance computing, and biotechnologies to build in silico individual representations that dynamically reflect molecular, physiological, clinical, and lifestyle status across different treatments and time. In this talk, we will introduce the principles and basics of digital twins, as well as the latest research and development in how to implement cancer patient digital twins into radiation oncology. Eventually, we hope to see widespread applications of digital twins in the field for personalized cancer care and improved treatment outcomes.
