Colleague Chloé Audigier is developing a digital twin of the liver. We met up with her to get some insights into this project and learn more about Chloé’s motivation to come to work every day.
Liver conditions like tumors or fatty liver disease are affecting an increasing number of people. Liver cancer alone is the third deadliest form of cancer worldwide with only a 16% five-year survival rate. But there are many stages in liver disease and patients could be treated if they were diagnosed early enough. So there is a need for both early diagnosis and better therapy options. Chloé wants to do her part in meeting this need.
I think it’s very rewarding to try and apply science to build solutions that could help patients live longer and healthier lives.

Based in Switzerland, Chloé is one of our Senior AI Research Scientists. Currently, she’s working on a project developing a digital twin of the human liver: “Digital twins are computer models that aim to represent for example an organ of a patient in an individualized, accurate and virtual way,” she explains. “Such models could help clinicians simulate or test several therapy options virtually before performing them on the actual patient.”
