• ITMO University Participates in DigiTwins Project

  ITMO’s International Laboratory “Hybrid Nanostructures for Biomedicine” has become Russia’s only participant in a major project on creating digital twins - DigiTwins. The project will combine the efforts of more than 200 partners from 32 different countries in order to create an extensive medical database on every citizen of the European Union. Not only will the new project help to better predict and diagnose diseases, but also develop new drugs more efficiently. It is anticipated that the new project will help save many lives, as well as sufficiently decrease financial losses in the healthcare system. For now, DigiTwins has already passed  the  preliminary  selection for projects that aim to receive funding as part of European Union’s FET Flagships initiative.
