    Episode 13- The regulatory code: the challenges of regulating in silico medicine
    Jul 2 2025
    Computer models and Artificial Intelligence (AI) present a new and not fully understood set of opportunities and challenges. To navigate this complex landscape, we turned to a leading innovator in the field: Tina Morrison. With over 15 years of experience at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Tina served as the Director of the Office of Regulatory Science and Innovation, leading the agency in the use of computer models in regulatory affairs.

    Episode 12- Modelling the liver: where data meet the scalpel
    May 29 2025
    In this episode, we talk to Eric Vibert — liver and transplant surgeon, professor at Paris-Saclay University and INSERM, and a trailblazer in surgical innovation.

    Operating since 2007 at the Paul Brousse Hospital, Prof. Vibert is reshaping the future of surgery through digital solutions. Alongside Nicolas Castoldi, he co-leads the Tier Lieu Campus BOPEX — an Experimental Operating Theatre where clinicians and developers co-create technologies to enhance surgical precision, safety, and outcomes. Join us for a conversation at the intersection of surgery and digital transformation.

  • Episode 11- Talking about a revolution: Science Communication & In Silico Medicine

    Episode 11- Talking about a revolution: Science Communication & In Silico Medicine
    Apr 30 2025
    In 2013, Sir Mark Walport, then Chief Scientific Adviser to the UK government, famously said, "Science is not finished until it is communicated." He urged climate change experts to make their work accessible to wider audiences — a message that rings even truer today, especially for the field of in silico medicine. As these technologies move closer to patients' lives, clear and effective communication will be essential to build trust and understanding.

    To celebrate one year of The Digital Twin Theory podcast, this special episode flips the script: host Davide Montesarchio becomes the guest, interviewed by our manager, Martina Contin, to explore why — and how — we must communicate in silico medicine to the world.

    Episode 10- Beating Bits: AI helping cardiology
    Mar 31 2025
    Let’s delve into the clinical applications of in silico medicine! Our guest for this episode is Dr. Elisa Rauseo, cardiologist and Clinical Research Fellow in Cardiovascular Digital Twins at the Queen Mary University of London. Together, we will discuss the applications of AI and machine learning in cardiology and also how ready medical doctors are to apply in silico tools in their practice.

    Episode 9- Bones, Joints, and Bytes
    Feb 27 2025
    Musculoskeletal applications are among the most advanced frontiers of in silico medicine. In our first episode of 2025, we sit down with a true pioneer in the field—Prof. Marco Viceconti.

    From the early days, when only a handful of visionaries foresaw a future where medicine was driven by data and computational models, to the present, Marco has been a driving force in this revolution.

    His contributions are remarkable: he founded and directed the Medical Technology Lab at the Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli, established and led the Insigneo Institute for In Silico Medicine, and served as the first Executive Director of VPHi.

    Join us as we explore the evolution of in silico medicine through the insights of one of its most influential figures.

    Episode 6- Ethics and the Virtual Human Twin
    Nov 5 2024
    In silico medicine, as a breakthrough in technology and healthcare, carries a series of ethical issues, including managing personal health data, the technological divide, and the doctor-patient relationship.


    To explore this topic, we interviewed Michele Barbier, an independent ethics expert for the European Commission and EU project coordinator at INRIA working on digital twins. Her insights offer a closer look at this transformative field's challenges and promises.
