Our Speakers:
Professor Alejandro Frangi FREng FIEEE
Professor Alejandro Frangi FREng FIEEE, a leader in computational medicine and in silico trials, holds the Bicentenary Turing Chair in Computational Medicine at the University of Manchester. As Director of the Christabel Pankhurst Institute, he accelerates health tech innovation translation in Greater Manchester. Prof Frangi leads the InSilicoUK Pro Innovation Regulations Network (www.insilicouk.org) and the UK CEiRSI Centre of Excellence on In Silico Regulatory Science and Innovation (www.linkedin.com/showcase/ukceirsi), advancing in silico medicine nationally and internationally. His research focuses on AI and in silico technologies, fostering collaboration between academia, industry, and regulators to drive healthcare innovation.
Julian Padget
Reader (Associate Professor) in Computer Science, University of Bath
His research covers a range of topics in AI, with pure AI work on intelligent agents, policy modelling and reasoning and software engineering for socio-technical systems, and multi-disciplinary AI work in life sciences, social policy, mechnical engineering and electrical engineering. He is the AI innovation theme lead at the UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training on Accountable, Responsible and Transparent Artificial Intelligence (ART-AI, https://cdt-art-ai.ac.uk/). He contributes to national and international AI-related standardisation activities at BSI (ART/1, DLT/1, CH/62), IEEE (7003-2024 Algorithmic bias considerations (technical editor)), CEN (bias) and ISO/IEC (bias, computational modelling).
Lindsey Ferrari
Lead Standards Development Manager, BSI
Lindsey is Lead Standards Development Manager and the Secretary to the CEN/CENELEC Strategic Advisory Group on Healthcare Standards. Since 2022, she has been working in standards development for the British Standards Institution. Over the years her standards portfolio has been mainly focused on the healthcare and medical devices, guiding standards development in emerging areas like AI in Medical Devices and supporting stakeholder engagement across the sector.
