The Alliance at the iSi Health Symposium
18/09/2025
On 11 and 12 September 2025, our partner iSi Health, Erica Beaucage-Gauvreau and Rocio Castro Vinuelas, organised an excellent symposium in Leuven to bring together key players in the in silico community and promote networking, brainstorming and exchanges.
Liesbet Geris, our Research and Technology Working Group Leader gave an excellent keynote describing the progress of regulatory science and the acceptability of in silico evidence in Europe. Our President and Secretary General Thierry Marchal had the privilege of moderating the panel “Navigating the Valley of Death: from bench to bedside”. With an outstanding panel of experts – Ilse Sienaert, Anne-Gaelle Dosne, Charles Taylor, and Roger Assaker – we explored the key challenges and opportunities for shaping the future of healthcare innovation, while inspiring the new generation to embark in this difficult but exciting journey.
The discussion touched on:
- Building confidence in in silico methods
- Addressing regulatory inertia in Europe
- Fostering entrepreneurship in healthcare
The insights shared by these visionary entrepreneurs were both inspiring and thought-provoking, highlighting not only their successes but also the lessons learned along the way.
Together, we took an important step in pushing the boundaries of science and innovation to improve patient well-being.
