Welcome to René Bombien, New Co-Chair of the Clinical Deployment Task Force

René Bombien brings a wealth of experience in both clinical practice and regulatory affairs. A board-certified cardiac surgeon, he has over a decade of experience in cardiovascular surgery, having trained at Johann Wolfgang von Goethe University, Christian Albrechts University, and Ludwig Maximilian University Hospital. His expertise extends to cardiovascular research, including work at the Cedars Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles.

From 2013, he has been with the Clinical Centre of Excellence at TÜV SÜD, served as Chief Medical Officer at TÜV SÜD Denmark MHS (NB CE2443) from 2021 to 2024 and is now Clinical Director at qtec-group. His deep knowledge of clinical evaluation and regulatory requirements will be invaluable in driving the Task Force’s mission forward.

We look forward to his leadership, together with Erica Beaucage-Gauvreau, in advancing in silico clinical deployment and strengthening the dialogue between clinicians, regulators, and industry.

Welcome, René!
