Martin Genet
Professor in the Mechanics Department École Polytechnique

Professor Martin Genet is a researcher in the MΞDISIM team, joint between the Solid Mechanics Laboratory or École Polytechnique and INRIA, the French National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology. His research focuses on applying physical modeling, data processing and computational techniques to challenges in cardiology and pulmonology. His research spans cardiac and pulmonary biomechanical modeling, simulation and estimation focusing on i) multiscale biomechanical modelling of living tissues ii) methods and tools for simulation of such models and iii) methods and tools for merging such models with clinical data.

Jacky Smith
Professor of Respiratory Medicine, University of Manchester

Professor Jacky Smith leads a multi-disciplinary research team who focus on understanding mechanisms underlying pathological cough as well as in the measurement and monitoring of chronic cough. She is Director of the NIHR Manchester Clinical Research Facility and an investigator in the NIHR Manchester Biomedical Research Centre.

Martin Clift
Professor of Biomedical Sciences, Swansea University Medical School
Martin Clift
Professor of Biomedical Sciences, Swansea University Medical School

Professor Martin Clift focuses upon the creation and application of advanced in vitro models of the human lung, accompanied with realistic exposure systems that enable his team to assess the hazard of inhaled particulate and fibres. Furthermore, this information enables his group to elucidate the mechanisms associated with the onset/exacerbation of respiratory diseases following such exposures. Martin is Chair of the UK Animal Alternative Technologies (UKAAT) society, a Full Member of the UK Government Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), as well as holds varies committee and editorial functions in the UK and globally.

Simon Johnson
Professor of Respiratory Medicine, University of Nottingham

Simon Johnson is Respiratory Theme Lead for the Nottingham NIHR Biomedical Research Centre and Director of the National Centre for Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). His research focuses on how chronic lung diseases including LAM, asthma and lung fibrosis result in pathological lung parenchymal and airway remodelling and how these processes can be targeted to prevent organ failure and disability.

Professor of Respiratory Medicine, University of Nottingham

Panel Session

We will be hosting a panel session on “Opportunities and challenges for biophysical modelling in environmental health applications”. We will discuss key challenges and opportunities in this space and look forward to some interesting discussions which will help shape our new thematic area.

Confirmed panel members:

  • Tim Dexter, Senior Policy and Project Manager, Asthma and Lung UK

  • Prof Martin Clift, Professor of Biomedical Sciences, Swansea University

  • Prof Jacky Smith, Professor of Respiratory Medicine, University of Manchester

  • Prof Bindi Brook, Professor of Mathematical Medicine and Biology, University of Nottingham

Innovators in Industry

We are delighted to welcome Industry Representatives working in respiratory medicine to our conference.

Representatives from Vitalograph, TidalSense and Arete Medical Technologies will join us to provide valuable insight into their companies, how they use mathematical modelling in their R&D and career or collaboration opportunities with the academic community.
