The Research Programme

The research programme fosters strong cross-fertilization between the three technology-driven research objectives and the research objective oriented towards the ethical, legal societal implications of in silico health technology.

  1. Brain Health: Elucidate the ageing-related mechanisms impacting brain function in older age, using in silico health solutions to design better treatments
  2. Heart Health: Investigate the age-related changes in cardiovascular structure and function using multi-physics in silico health solutions to better understand the underlying mechanisms of disorders associated with ageing.
  3. Musculoskeletal Health: Assess the effect of ageing on the musculoskeletal system to gain insights into age-related changes in joint function.
  4. In silico Health & Society: Evaluate the complex ethical, legal, and social interactions between the different stakeholders of the in silico health ecosystem to mitigate undesired consequences and further accelerate the uptake of in silico health.
