Utrecht Advanced In Vitro Models Hub

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. U-AIM 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, U-AIM aims to strongly reduce animal experimentation and increase market potential of innovative models.
