4D Mapping of Genomic and Medical Information

The WEPA project aims to create visual maps of information about diseases that have a genetic component, such as cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s. Using an immersive virtual reality environment called the CAVE, the research team will integrate a high-resolution digital atlas of a human body with medical data related to specific diseases. The final result will be a next-generation 4D (space and time) visual system to “see” disease processes and the effects of interventions, such as drugs, on these processes.
