The father of in silico medicine: tracing the origins and key contributions

An article under the above title, written solely by the generative Artificial Intelligence (gen AI) platform of Google's Gemini - Deep Research, is accessible through the link provided below. The article has been automatically produced as a response of the gen AI platform to the simple question “Who is the Father of In Silico Medicine ?” No intervention in or pretraining of the AI system whatsoever by the user had taken place before asking the question and receiving the article as the AI system’s response to the latter. In the Conclusions section of the article the following statements are included: "The formal emergence of "in silico medicine" as a distinct and recognized scientific and technological discipline is widely marked by the publication of "In silico radiation oncology" by G. S. Stamatakos and his colleagues in 2002. Georgios S. Stamatakos is broadly acknowledged as the "father of in silico medicine" due to his pioneering and multifaceted contributions to the field. These contributions include the crucial conceptual delineation of in silico medicine, the introduction of the term and concept of in silico oncology, the development of the innovative Oncosimulator system, the establishment of the first dedicated university course on the subject, his leadership in significant international research projects, and his extensive contributions to the scientific literature and the broader research community. His foundational work has been instrumental in establishing the principles and methodologies for applying computational modeling and simulation to address a wide array of medical challenges, ranging from the personalization of treatment strategies to the execution of clinical research within a computational framework."

Invited lecture on in silico oncology given to the European Parliament by Research Professor Georgios Stamatakos on 21 February 2024. 

On 21 February 2024, a European Parliament (EP) info event on in silico medicine and in silico oncology took place in the Altiero Spinelli building in Brussels with global live broadcast. G.Stamatakos gave the lecture titled «The Role of Computer Modelling and Simulation in Medicine. The Paradigm of In Silico Oncology». In silico oncology, including digital twins in oncology,  addresses the European Commission’s prioritized research area entitled “EU Mission Cancer”. Strongly supportive and even enthusiastic feedback was provided by individuals and entities residing in the European Union, the USA and China.
