L'Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma (UCBM) hosts from today until September 10th theXI International Conference on Computational Bioengineering (ICCB 2025), one of the most important international events dedicated to computational bioengineeringFor three days, Rome becomes a meeting point for over 130 scientists, researchers, and professionals from five continents, transforming the university campus into a true global hub of research and innovation.
The congress is organized by UCBM Academy, a University space dedicated to developing new skills in science, engineering, and medicine. Through master's programs, refresher courses, and research activities, the Academy brings together education and business, strengthening its mission of training new generations of researchers capable of driving innovation.
The scientific program includes lectures by teachers UCBM including Alessio Gizzi, winner of an ERC Consolidator Grant and Scientific Director of the congress, Emiliano Schena, President of the Degree Course in Biomedical Engineering, and Loredana Zollo, Dean of the Departmental Faculty of Engineering, together with world-renowned keynote speakers.
Over 100 researchers will present their studies in 13 thematic mini-symposia, selected by an international commission. Among the topics at the center of the debate: Physiological systems modeling, theoretical and computational biomechanics, numerical computing, personalized medicine, assistive and rehabilitative robotics, 3D bioprinting, artificial intelligence applied to medicine, nanomedicine, neural engineering, and human-machine interfaces.
"Hosting ICCB 2025 represents for our University a recognition of its scientific excellence and its ability to combine advanced research and technological innovation. - he claims Andrea Rossi, Chief Executive Officer and General Manager UCBM. "UCBM Academy It is the space where education, research, and business meet to discuss the most cutting-edge frontiers of computational bioengineering, from physiological systems modeling to artificial intelligence applied to medicine, all the way to 3D bioprinting and rehabilitation robotics. The participation of international experts and speakers strengthens its role as an interdisciplinary hub where scientific research opens new perspectives for technological development and the transformation of innovation into concrete results..
"The commitment to organize the first international conference on Computational Bioengineering at UCBM Academy started with the official application (Bid to Host), presented on the occasion of the tenth edition in 2013 at the prestigious TU Wien" – adds the teacher. Alessio Gizzi, Professor of Structural Mechanics at the Departmental Faculty of Engineering UCBM, Scientific Director of the event and winner of the prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant. "Over the next two years, we worked with great dedication together with the co-chairs and the Local Organizing Committee, with the aim of ensuring an excellent result both on a scientific and organizational level. It was a true team effort, which allowed us to gather at UCBM Academy brings together some of the most authoritative exponents of a highly interdisciplinary international community, capable of combining basic science, engineering, and medicine to promote the advancement of knowledge. We hope this represents only the first of a long series of scientific events hosted at UCBM Academy, capable of consolidating a path of excellence in research".
In addition to the scientific works, the congress also includes moments of networking and socializing, Including a gala dinner at Castel Gandolfo, which will offer participants an opportunity to meet and appreciate the area's cultural heritage.
The event strengthens the position of UCBM Academy as a HUB of major international events and represents an important showcase for Italy in the context of advanced biomedical research.
