LifeScience 4EU event in Krakow

As part of the Polish Presidency of the European Council, Klaster LifeScience Krakow led by Kazimierz Murzyn organized the LifeScience 4EU event. This two-day conference brought together decision-makers and opinion leaders from the healthcare sector to brainstorm on the future of healthcare in Europe. Thierry Marchal, Secretary General & President of the Avicenna Alliance, and Liesbet Geris, Executive Director of the VPH Institute, responsible for the Research and Technology working group, were invited to take part in various panels.

They explained the importance of engineering solutions, including the virtual human twin, to better help the medical community and they painted an exciting future harnessing AI for healthcare, including personalized healthcare, while keeping in mind the limitations of this technology. Many discussions illustrated the evolution of traditional clinical trials away from Europe. This calls for a rapid adoption of in silico clinical trials that would streamline the regulatory approval process while amplifying patient safety.

The final report and recommendations from this prestigious event will help guide Europe towards better and more affordable healthcare for its citizens, but also inspire the world and facilitate closer collaborations between regions.
