I was there- The history of in silico medicine Pt.1 (with Peter Hunter)

How did in silico medicine begin? And what was it like to work on computational models of the human body before digital twins and virtual patients became part of the scientific vocabulary?

In this special two-part episode, we sat down with Professor Peter Hunter, one of the pioneers of computational modelling and a key figure behind the Physiome Project, the Auckland Bioengineering Institute, and the Virtual Physiological Human.

Peter takes us back to the early days of the field, from the first computer models to the emergence of the vision of a computational human body, and reflects on how far that vision has come, and what still lies ahead.

This is Part I of a two-episode journey through the history of in silico medicine, told by someone who was there.
