Your access portal to state-of-the-art in vitro innovations

Many scientific discoveries are societally relevant and have market potential. Also, scientists are becoming more aware of the fact that in many cases, particularly with in vitro research, models in development have potential to replace or reduce animal experimentation. At the same time – also due to societal pressure and political ambitions – companies search for alternatives for animal experimentation. The Utrecht In Vitro Models Hub is a “one-stop shop” where high potential in vitro models are being developed, validated and transitioned to stakeholders. Through a strong cooperation between scientists, students, regulators and industry, the hub aims to strongly reduce animal experimentation and increase market potential of innovative models.

  • U-AIM: Aiming for animal-free innovations

    The U-AIM hub aims to facilitate and accelerate the development of animal-free test alternatives. Scientific program officer Damien van Berlo explains this nicely in the 2019 edition of the TCDD newsletter. Turn to page 12 for the full story.

  • Succesful conference on animal-free innovation

    In november we hosted the international Pioneer-2-Policymaker conference on the transition towards animal-free innovation. Over 150 representatives from academia, research funders, large scale companies, start-ups, government, regulators and NGOs from 16 countries attended the event.
