How formulas are making medicine more personalised

When Federica Caforio talks about the heart, it doesn’t sound like an operating theatre, but rather like equations, parameters and simulations. Yet this is precisely where the medical promise of her research lies: one day, clinical data will be used to create a digital twin of the heart – a virtual model that will enable a better understanding of diseases and allow for more personalised treatment plans. She will be presenting her research at the ‘ECMTB 2026’ mathematics conference.

Vitamin E is the key: a pharmacist has discovered a substance that ‘switches off’ inflammation

Alzheimer’s, obesity or atherosclerosis: many lifestyle-related diseases are driven by or accompanied by inflammation. “Treatments usually aim to halt the progression of inflammation. However, for a long-term cure, it must be completely resolved,” explains Andreas Koeberle, a pharmacist at the University of Graz. Normally, the body carries out this work itself. However, if this process does not function properly, chronic inflammation can develop, which can contribute to conditions such as cardiovascular disease or cancer.

Sport beyond the World Cup: the TV channel “Welt der Wunder” features diabetes research from the University of Graz
