Highlights from the NAFEM France Biomedical Session

The session brought together exceptional speakers from academia (Badr Kaoui,Tévy Julie Pigeon, Kenza Oussalah), industry (Philippe Favre, Julien Sigüenza), and a regulatory expert (Jean-Matthieu Prot).

Professor Irene Vignon-Clementel opened the event with an outstanding keynote, emphasising the growing role of in silico methods, not only in industry but also in clinical applications. She nicely describes the central role of the EDITH CSA project.

A lively panel discussion followed, featuring Jean-Matthieu Prot,Philippe Favre, Yanneck Suchier, and Julien Sigüenza. Key insights highlighted a strong appetite for wider adoption of simulation technologies, tempered by ongoing trust challenges. To bridge this gap, participants suggested increased sharing of regulatory submissions involving modelling and simulation, the development of additional standards, and enhanced dialogue among stakeholders.

These discussions are set to continue through Biomed In Silico France .

A big thank you to the organisers for an outstanding event: Jean-Marc Crepel, Didier Large, François Large, and Tim Morris!
