Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSoroush Safaei is a Senior Principal Scientist with 15 years of experience applying mechanistic computational models to translational medicine and pharmaceutical R&D. Based in Ghent, he designs and implements multi-scale models that integrate physiology and biology to de-risk decisions from preclinical promise to clinical reality. He has built and led interdisciplinary research teams—growing a Virtual Brain Group from 2 to 20 members—to develop subject-specific cardiovascular and brain tissue models aimed at early biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease. Currently he splits his time between Sanofi’s Translational Medicine Unit, leading a Horizon Europe consortium pillar, and steering a digital-twin dementia trial in collaboration with the Auckland Bioengineering Institute. His background in mechanical engineering and a PhD in bioengineering underpin a practical, conservation-law–aware modeling approach (PBPK/Bond Graph) that separates fundamental principles from empirical constitutive laws. Colleagues describe him as a rare practitioner who translates complex physiological theory into tools that directly inform clinical and regulatory decisions.
