Dr Mirre Scholte

Project Manager, IDEAL Meetings

I am assistant professor at Radboudumc specialising in early health technology assessment (HTA) of medical devices and surgical innovations. I completed my PhD at Radboudumc with the thesis Exploring the Value of Innovations: Methods for Early Health Economic Evaluation in Surgical Innovation. After my PhD, I did a postdoc at Maastricht UMC+, further strengthening my expertise in economic evaluation and decision-analytic modelling. I also served as External Assessment Group Lead for NICE in the UK, where I led independent assessments of pharmacoeconomic submissions and advised national appraisal committees on health economic evidence.
