January 7th in room H4-02-A - Jérémy Hofmeister (HUG/UNIGE) From Computational Models to In-Vitro and Biological Twins: A Translational Approach to Brain Vessel Modeling
Dr. Jérémy Hofmeister is a board-certified interventional neuroradiologist at Geneva University Hospitals (HUG), Switzerland, specializing in minimally invasive treatment of neurovascular and spinal disorders, with a particular focus on ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. He conducts research at Campus Biotech Geneva, where he develops AI-based neurovascular modeling approaches integrating advanced image processing and additive manufacturing, both physical (in vitro) and computational. These models are applied in fundamental and translational research, therapeutic device R&D, and clinical research to support the development of treatment strategies and the planning of endovascular interventions
February 4th in room H4-02-A Pr. Philippe Bijlenga (HUG) Stroke Digital Twin in Health from Real World Data
Prof. Philippe Bijlenga is a neurosurgeon at Geneva University Hospitals (HUG) and an associate professor at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Geneva. A renowned specialist in cerebrovascular diseases, particularly intracranial aneurysms and subarachnoid hemorrhage, he combines clinical expertise with translational research. His work focuses on modeling neurovascular diseases using multimodal data that integrates imaging, clinical, genetic, and biological data, with a strong interest in medical decision support and personalized medicine.
He is actively involved in the European GEMINI (Stroke Digital Twin) project, which aims to develop digital twins of patients to improve the prediction, prevention, and management of strokes. He is also committed to integrating virtual reality, mixed reality, and artificial intelligence into neurosurgery, both for training and clinical practice.
