User Research in developing the virtual human platform
Digital tools can support the phasing out of animal-based tests and data in chemical risk assessment. This is one of the core promises of the Virtual Human Platform. The potential contribution of digitalization is linked to the acceptance and adoption of tools, methods, and data by stakeholders in several societal sectors. To facilitate the integration of stakeholders in the configuration of digital tools, Dr. Isaac Ortega Alvarado and colleagues gather insights from risk assessors in their role as users. Risk assessors are the ones who actualize chemical risk assessment and its standards through their practices. With this perspective, this research contributes to understanding the development and implementation of digital tools as embedded in social processes of construction and reception.

NXTGEN Hightech Biomed
The Netherlands has strong academic knowledge in areas like Lab-on-Chip, Organ-on-Chip, artificial organs, and cell production technology. However, turning this knowledge into actual products is challenging due to the need for collaboration between different technological and biological specialists. The NXTGEN Hightech program (https://nxtgenhightech.nl/en/biomed/) addresses this by creating a collaborative environment where companies from various fields work together. This approach aims to transform academic insights into innovative products, benefiting both the industry and society.
