REFINE Decision Support System Training Course (DSS)

The REFINE Project Decision Support System training course took place today the 15th of January 2021 at 11am-1pm CET, it was a virtual event.

The REFINE DSS has been developed to support experts, innovators and regulators in the implementation of Intelligent Testing Strategies (ITS) for cost-efficient preclinical assessment of nanotechnology-based medicinal products and medical devices. The ITS consist of testing methods and modelling approaches for the characterisation of the physicochemical properties of nanotechnology-based medicinal products and medical devices. 

On the basis of the provided input parameters, such as the description of the nanotechnology-based medicinal products and medical devices and their intended use, the available information on the structure of the nanotechnology-based system (e.g. layers composition, core composition, etc.), APIs, excipients, buffers and impurities, the DSS guides the user through the physicochemical characterization of the nanotechnology-based health product by recommending specific assays and prioritizing them according to several parameters, such as cost, duration and required expertise to run the assay.
