The Avicenna Alliance Publishes its Fourth Edition of the In Silico Medicine Glossary

In the scientific literature, occasional confusion and diverging opinions can lead to misunderstandings regarding certain in silico concepts. To address this, a dedicated team of academic and industry members of the Avicenna Alliance has worked together to develop clear, consensus-based definitions of terms regularly used in the “in silico” landscape.

This latest edition features an expanded list of definitions, reflecting the ongoing evolution of the field. We recognize that different interpretations / definitions may exist and we welcome your feedback, as the glossary is intended to grow and adapt over time.

Future editions will continue to refine existing definitions and introduce new concepts to further support clarity and consistency.

We invite you to explore the updated glossary and share your comments or suggestions with Roberta Maggi at manager@avicenna-alliance.com.

Special thanks and recognition go to the contributors — among other Avicenna Members — who revised the glossary during this and previous editions.
