Reliable research with virtual patients
The right medicine in the right dosage for every patient, that is something medical science aspires. 'Personalised medicine' is the term for that.

Reality or coincidence? We need to move from probability to evidence.
In studies, it is an old acquaintance, the p-value. But mathematician Peter Grünwald wants to get rid of it. The p-value is too susceptible to fraud and can lead to a distorted picture of reality and chance. That is why he wants to work with the e-value. De Volkskrant spoke to him about it.
