Heiko Enderling
Talk Title: Digital Twins in Oncology
Dr. Enderling earned his undergraduate degree in Computer Science applied to Human Medicine at the University of Magdeburg, Germany. He completed his PhD in Mathematical Biology at the University of Dundee, Scotland, with focus on radiotherapy for early-stage breast cancer. After completing his postdoctoral training at the Center for Cancer Systems Biology at Caritas St. Elizabeth's Medical Center in Boston, he begins his faculty career at Tufts University School of Medicine and rose through the academic ranks at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida. Since joining MD Anderson Cancer Center in 2023 as a Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology, he is co-directing a program on Data Access, Computational Modeling, and Artificial Intelligence for Radiation Oncology, as well as Co-Leading a program on Computational Modeling for Precision Medicine at the Institute for Data Science in Oncology. His research is focused on building Digital Twins for Precision Medicine, and on identifying novel data science biomarkers in routinely collected clinical data to guide patient-specific clinical decision making. He has received numerous research and mentoring awards and served in several leadership roles of the Society for Mathematical Biology.
