How to accelerate safety and performance assessments of 3D-printed PPE at POC
New simulation standards can accelerate safety and performance assessments of 3D-printed personal protective equipment (PPE), especially during global emergencies: this was the starting point of our participation in the ASTM Workshop on Fast-Tracking Standards Development to Address PPR Shortages due … Read More
Towards Good Simulation Practice
During the 2020 Avicenna Day, many experts from all over the world talking about the need for Good Simulation Practice, a term coined by the Avicenna Alliance taking inspiration from the Good Clinical Practice typical of the clinical world to … Read More
STrhiPS: a new web-based tool that helps perform in silico trials on populations of hiPS cells
STrhiPS: a new web-based tool that helps perform in silico trials on populations of hiPS cells. A few weeks ago we presented a poster at the SPS Annual Meeting and we received immediately a lot of attention. We were pleased, … Read More
New in silico models for cardiac safety in drugs
One of the most frequent debates in the scientific community today regards how to reduce the risk of drug-induced cardiac safety issues in drugs. CardiacSafety is crucial in the development of new molecules, since drugs can sometimes interfere with the … Read More
How simulation can help fight a pandemic like Covid-19
How simulation can help fight a pandemic like Covid-19. It took us unprepared. We missed how much probable was the threat of a contagious and potentially deadly virus as the #covid19 in a hyper-connected world. And we have neither a … Read More
