Our new guest is Miha Moškon, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Computer and Information Science, University of Ljubljana, and a member of the Computational Biology Group at the same faculty. His passion is studying biology from the perspective of a computer scientist: “One of the most rewarding things in my work is
This week we met Jérôme Noailly, one of the key figures in the international in silico medicine scenario. Noailly is a Professor of Biomechanics, Biomaterials & Musculoskeletal Modelling, and a faculty researcher at the University Pompeu Fabra, in Barcelona, Spain, where he is currently developing with his team
We met Marian Bubak, Scientific Affairs Director of the Sano Centre for Computational Medicine in Krakow, Poland.He obtained M.Sc. in Technical Physics and Ph.D. in Computer Science from the AGH University of Science and Technology, Krakow, Poland. He also leads the Laboratory of
We met scientist Liesbet Geris for our latest In Silico Talks. She is a professor of Engineering at the University of Liège and KU Leuven, in Belgium. She is also the executive director of the VPH Institute. She is a great supporter
Modeling the human body is certainly one of the most extraordinary applications of computational simulation. We talked about this with Mariano Vázquez, a PhD in Physics, currently CTO/CSO at ELEM Biotech, a spinoff company of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC),
He is one the greatest experts on in silico medicine worldwide and one of the key figures in the in silico medicine international community. Marco Viceconti is full professor of Computational Biomechanics at the Alma Mater Studiorum – University of Bologna, and Director of the Medical Technology Lab of the Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute. He is visiting professor at the University of Sheffield, UK, where he founded and led for seven years the prestigious Insigneo Institute for in silico Medicine. Prof
In Silico World is one of the three Horizon 2020 funded projects InSilicoTrials Technologies is part of. We are in a consortium of 17 international partners, coordinated by the University of Bologna, that will receive €7.6 million funds by the European Commission to develop 11 in silico trials solutions leveraging state-of-the-art computational technologies to
Brainteaser is a EU-funded project to innovate healthcare. The Covid-19 pandemic has shown, amongst other things, that cutting-edge technology can innovate healthcare in many ways: first of all, by speeding up the very long process of creating new vaccines and treatments.
Simulation to help fight cardiovascular disease. As we all know, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, with 18 million deaths each year according to WHO estimates. Currently, 15 million people in Europe live with heart failure. You can see why we were so
We met Javier Saiz – Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain – who led the research group that created the computational model which is at the core of our QT/TdP Risk Screen product, available on our cloud-based platform. Our objective was to
We met Stefano Severi – Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering department of Electronics, Computer Science and Systems of the University of Bologna, Italy – who created a computational model which is at the core of STrhiPS: a web-based tool that helps perform in
New simulation standards can accelerate safety and performance assessments of 3D-printed personal protective equipment (PPE), especially during global emergencies: this was the starting point of our participation in the ASTM Workshop on Fast-Tracking Standards Development to Address PPR Shortages due
