Avicenna Alliance at the IMDRF meeting in Japan – 10/14 March 2025

As an observer to IMDRF, the Avicenna Alliance was invited to attend the open sessions, which provided the opportunity to network with global Regulatory Authorities, the WHO, Trade Organizations, and industry representatives. The Alliance was represented by Marc Horner (Ansys), who leads the International Affairs Working Group for the Alliance. Marc connected with many active and affiliate members to discuss the growing importance of in silico methods and the need for global harmonisation to maximise the utilisation/benefits of in silico.

One exciting observation was the result of a recent member survey, where in silico was a common topic highlighted by members as needing regulation. It is one of many topics however, so the question now is how to support the prioritization of in silico for immediate guidance development. The Avicenna Alliance welcomes your ideas on how to accomplish this goal.

The date of the Fall meeting has not yet been announced. Please follow this page so to receive the latest updates on global harmonisation, IMDRF, and other in silico news.
