VPHi for Students

Student members

VPH Institute for students and young researchers

The VPHi is an international non-profit organisation

that represents the in silico medicine community worldwide.

Our mission is to deliver better treatments to the patients and improve the healthcare system thanks to the full adoption of in silico medicine, the field that encompasses the use of individualised physiology-based computer simulations in all aspects of the prevention, diagnosis, prognostic assessment, and treatment of a disease, or development of a biomedical product.

The VPHi has a decennial history that is rooted in the visionary idea of more than 300 experts from over 30 countries that signed for the support of the Virtual Physiological Human in 2009.

More than ten years later, the community is growing, and our youngest members today are the experts of tomorrow.
