Subject: VPH newsletter - November 2025

Dear Member,

We’re excited to share plenty of news with you this month.

First of all, we’re thrilled to announce our rebranding and our brand-new website!

Over the past decade, the in silico medicine community has grown stronger, more diverse, and more connected than ever. 

VPH launched new initiatives, contributed to EU-funded projects, and expanded our impact across science, policy, and society.

Now, it’s time for our identity to reflect this evolution!


This short video captures the essence of our mission: the mindset behind the science, the purpose behind the technology, and the ecosystem we are building to bring truly predictive, personalised, and participatory healthcare to everyone.
