In Silico Trials of Medical Devices with Professor Alejandro Frangi FREng

This video is part of a series of guest expert interviews that we recorded for our new Yale Certificate Program on Medical Software and Medical AI – https://online.yale.edu/medical-software-ai-program.

Our guest is Prof Frangi is the Bicentennial Turing Chair in Computational Medicine at the University of Manchester, Manchester, UK, with joint appointments at the Schools of Computer Science and Health Sciences. He is also the Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Emerging Technologies, with a focus on Precision Computational Medicine for in silico trials of medical devices. He is the Director of the Christabel Pankhurst Institute for Health Technology Research and Innovation (www.pankhurst.manchester.ac.uk). He conducts research in computational medical imaging and computational image-based medicine. Prof Frangi obtained his undergraduate degree in Telecommunications Engineering from the Technical University of Catalonia (Barcelona) in 1996. He pursued his PhD in Medicine at the Image Sciences Institute of the University Medical Centre Utrecht University on model-based cardiovascular image analysis. He leads the InSilicoUK Pro-Innovation Regulations Network (www.insilicouk.org). The video was recorded on July 19, 2024.
