9. Joints and bytes: Physics and the bones
Kicking off 2025, we talk with Prof. Marco Viceconti, a pioneer in musculoskeletal applications—one of the most advanced frontiers of in silico medicine.
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 VPH.
Join us as we explore the evolution of in silico medicine through the insights of one of its most influential figures.
