The Ágora room will host, from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm, the seminar “Multiscale Digital Twins of Aortic Disease: From Biomechanics to Mechanobiology”, presented by Stéphane Avril, researcher at Sainbiose (INSERM, Saint-Étienne, France). The initiative is organized by José Xavier, a UNIDEMI researcher.
The lecture will address the development of multiscale digital twins for aortic aneurysms and dissections, combining biomechanical models, machine learning, and mechanobiology to create patient-specific simulations that support diagnosis, complication prediction, and intervention planning.
The session highlights the importance of these digital tools for personalized medicine and reinforces the connection between engineering, technology, and healthcare—research areas at UNIDEMI.
The event is also held within the framework of the PESSOA Programme – Portugal–France Bilateral Cooperation (ref. 2024.07108.CBM), which supports the researcher’s mobility and the organization of this seminar.
