The Thuringian researchers develop specific organ-on-a-chip models with which they can investigate cellular and metabolic processes, for example septic liver failure. The method is an animal-free alternative to animal tests, for which the researchers have been honoured with the Thuringian Animal Welfare Prize 2014.
InVitroJobs presented Dr. Mosig’s research group in 2011, in the category “Working Group - A Portrait”. The article can be read here.
This year, the Thuringian Animal Welfare Prize has been awarded for the twentieth time.
