Bio: Liesbet Geris is professor in Biomechanics and Computational Tissue Engineering at the University of Liège and KU Leuven. She is also the director of the Virtual Physiological Human institute. Geris’ research focuses on development of digital representations of a human health or disease states using computer calculations (‘Virtual Human Twin’). She creates virtual twins (digital models) of people, that can accurately imitate both physical and biological processes of the human body. The ultimate goal is to improve healthcare by simulating personalised treatments before they are applied to a real patient.
