When: 14th March 2025

Where: The Pankhurst Centre, University of Manchester

Cost: No fee to register, limited financial support for travel and accommodation is available

This in-person sandpit event will showcase and explore emerging computational modelling and simulation research for applications in respiratory medicine. The goal is to identify pilot case studies for the translation of these technologies into clinical settings. This will involve a multi-disciplinary discussion to outline the:

• Potential for direct clinical impact

• Readiness of the in silico methods

• Technological barriers to implementation

For each potential case study. Proposals and suggestions for case studies to be discussed can be submitted prior to the event on the above link.

The outcome will be a list of “user case studies” for the BIOREME network to champion. After the event, the researchers involved in these case studies will be supported by BIOREME to develop an action plan to present at the final event in this joint series which will be held on 9th September 2025.

Background

This is the second in a series of joint activities between InSilicoUK and BIOREME (see the introductory webinar here) . The goal of this new collaboration is to:

• Bring the BIOREME community into efforts to support the translation of computational modelling and simulation to medical applications and practice.

• Drive greater coordination on community standards for in silico models to enable smoother translation.

• Review promising in silico technologies within respiratory medicine and identify exemplar case studies to spearhead this push.

• Increase awareness of the potential benefits of in silico technologies to stakeholders in clinical practice and industry.
