In Silico Clinical Trials Concepts and Adoption, March 5, 2021

On March 5th, the InSilc project will host a workshop on In Silico Clinical Trials Concepts and Adoption. This workshop will provide an overview to the InSilc Platform to prospective users by discussing a range of InSilico scenarios that have been completed by the project partners. The workshop runs from 14:00 - 20:00 CET (8:00 AM - 2:00 PM EST).

Dr. Elazer Edelman, Director, Institute for Medical Engineering and Science, MIT and CBSET board chairman will be presenting "The evolution/revolution of in-silico medicine" at 16:05 PM CET (10:05 AM EST). The full agenda is available here:

InSilc is a Cloud-based platform integrating beyond the state of the art in silico multiscale and multidisciplinary models towards the delivery of optimized and advanced prediction of short and medium/long term Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffolds (BVS) performance. The InSilc platform covers all phases of product development and testing and its development is realized through a generous grant from the European Union’s HORIZON 2020 research and innovation program.

Led by Drs. Rami Tzafriri and Farhad Nezami, the CBSET/MIT team developed the Drug Delivery Module and designed animal experiments for supporting this and other modules.
