Have you ever wondered how crucial medical writing is in the clinical process? ✍ Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to complete a Medical Writing Course offered by Medical Writing - Emtex Life Science and Emtex Academy, and it was an eye-opening experience! This course shed light on the pivotal role that clear, concise, and accurate medical writing plays in ensuring the success of clinical research and its impact on patients' lives. It reaffirmed how medical writing is not just about documentation—it's about communication, precision, and responsibility. A special thanks to the amazing trainers Thary Jacob ans Asmin Andries who guided us throughout the program! This experience has fueled my passion for contributing to the clinical and healthcare industry through effective medical writing. I'm excited to apply these skills and make a meaningful difference!

🌟Highlight from the European Society of Toxicology in Vitro ESTIV Training Course at Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST)! Luiz Ladeira, an ONTOX scientist, delivered an insightful presentation on ⭕Introduction to Adverse Outcome Pathways in In Vitro Toxicology. Luiz, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Liège, Belgium, brings a rich background in cell and structural biology and has been a vital contributor to ONTOX. His work focuses on advancing NAMs by refining Adverse Outcome Pathways, computational modeling, and ontology mapping. Recently joining the ESTIV board, Luiz is dedicated to promoting alternative toxicology methods and mentoring emerging toxicologists through the ESTIV Early Career Network and ASPIS Academy. 👏 Kudos to Luiz for his impactful session and commitment to driving innovation in toxicology! #ONTOX #ESTIV #InVitroToxicology #AdverseOutcomePathways #NAMs #TrainingCourse

Hello there! Are you passionate about systems biomedicine? Have you already been to Leuven, Belgium? Lack of plans for April 15-17 next year? In case of a triple "yes", I would like to announce something which you might be interested in: the upcoming Disease Maps Community Meeting (DMCM 2025)!

As the world of #healthcare continues to evolve, #InSilicoMedicine is emerging as a revolutionary force, driven by advanced #technologies and innovative approaches. The series "Code & Cure: Understanding In Silico Medicine" produced by #VPHi, sheds light on this transformative field. Explore the technologies behind in silico medicine, how #insilicotrials are transforming #drug testing, and how data privacy is balanced with progress. 👇

📢 Abstract submissions for MPS World Summit 2025 are now open ✨

🚀 #InSilicoMedicine heavily relies on data - age, gender, medical history, and more. The 6th episode of the "Code & Cure: Understanding In Silico Medicine" series by #VPHi delve into the vital balance between #DataPrivacy and accessibility: - How do we keep sensitive information secure? - What are the challenges to ensuring data privacy without slowing scientific progress? As the potential of in silico medicine grows, protecting patient data remains an essential priority. Explore these challenges with us and learn why responsible data management is fundamental for the future of digital #healthcare.
