From 4 to 6 September 2024, the University of Stuttgart, Germany is hosting the main event of reference for the in-silico medicine community: the Virtual Physiological Human (VPH) 2024 Conference, that this year will focus on the theme “Data-Driven Simulation Technologies for Clinical Decision Making”.
The programme will include plenary lectures, academic and industrial sessions, workshops, poster sessions and networking events. The most important themes include, among others, cardiovascular modelling, liver and eye modelling, cartilage and skin, musculoskeletal system, cellular and system biology, lung, human brain, toxicology, and pathway to digital twins.
In addition to the VPH Institute, organiser of the event, representatives of our consortium, including Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin (CHA), Lynkeus (LYN), Eindhoven University of Technology (TUE) and University College of London (UCL), will participate and present some of the final results of the project via talks and poster sessions. The relevant sessions are the following (see the full online programme for more details).
