معرفی
Jérôme Noailly is a Full Professor at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), leading the Biomechanics and Mechanobiology Area at the Barcelona Centre for New Medical Technologies. As head of the Multiscale and Computational Biomechanics & Mechanobiology (MBIOMM) group, he specializes in computational modeling of musculoskeletal systems, with a focus on intervertebral discs, osteoporosis, and inflammation-driven degeneration.
Education: BSc in Physical Chemistry, Engineer’s/MSc in Materials Science, MSc in Acoustics, and a PhD in Spine Biomechanics (UPC, 2006). Key career milestones include a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship (2006–2009), Ramon y Cajal fellowship (2016), and ERC Consolidator Grant (2023). He currently co-directs the SIMBIOSys group and coordinates EU projects such as Disc4All.
Research interests span biomechanical modeling, computational systems biology, medical imaging integration, and machine learning applications. Over 50 peer-reviewed articles, 150+ conference contributions, and 15 PhD supervisions reflect his prolific output. Awards include the UPC Best PhD Thesis (2009) and leadership roles in the European Society of Biomechanics (ESB), including Vice-President (2022–2024).
Teaching includes Biomedical Engineering courses at UPF, and leadership roles in academic administration (e.g., Bachelor’s program coordination, international mobility). His work bridges experimental and computational approaches to address complex biomedical challenges like disc degeneration and osteoarthritis.
