Event date and time
Co-organised by NC3Rs grant holder Nick Hannan, at the University of Nottingham, this meeting will explore innovations across a wide range of research areas and dive into discussions on method development and technological advances shaping the future of in vitro approaches to replace the use of animals.
Submit an abstract by Wednesday 15 April to be considered for an oral or poster presentation
The programme features a number of NC3Rs award holders including:
- Amir Ghaemmaghami, University of Nottingham.
- Paloma Ordóñez-Morán, University of Nottingham.
- Nick Hannan, University of Nottingham.
- Adrian Biddle, Queen Mary University of London.
Rachel Eyre, NC3Rs Programme Manager, will also be speaking and sharing NC3Rs initiatives and training opportunities.
Learn more about these grant holders and their NC3Rs-funded projects developing in vitro models to replace animal use:
- Amir's ongoing NC3Rs funded work involves the use of an iPSC based xeno-free platform to assess foreign body responses against new biomaterials to replace some animals in biomaterial development and safety studies.
- Paloma is an NC3Rs-BBSRC Business Interaction Voucher award holder focusing on the use of patient-derived organoids to study inflammatory bowel disease, a condition associated with increased colorectal cancer risk.
- Nick’s BBSRC-NC3Rs award for next generation non-animal technologies involved the development of an animal-free multi-cell type model of lung alveoli to replace the use of animals in respiratory pathology experiments.
- Adrian's current NC3Rs funded work includes using complex in vitro models of oral cancer to uncover how the tumour microenvironment drives cancer stem cell metastasis.
