Project: STRIVE – Simulation-based TRIals for Vascular trEatment

About the project

Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death worldwide, yet current clinical approval for disease treatment, especially for novel implants, relies on population-based studies that overlook individual patient variability.

In silico trials — computer-based simulations of clinical scenarios — offer a powerful alternative: by creating digital twins of patients and implants, treatment outcomes can be tested rapidly and safely, without invasive procedures or large-scale clinical studies.

STRIVE aims to develop a regulatory-aligned computational framework for personalized vascular interventions, with an initial focus on intracranial aneurysms.

The project combines advanced simulation methods, experimental validation, and close collaboration with clinicians and industry partners, ultimately enabling faster implant development, safer preoperative planning, and a meaningful reduction in the number of animal and human trials.

As part of a young interdisciplinary team, you will contribute directly to building this framework and shaping the medicine of tomorrow.
