A team of scientists has analyzed the current strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of modern computer methods used in the development of pharmaceuticals. The analysis results are intended for executives of large and small biomedical companies who need to decide whether, when and to what extent they want to invest in in silico studies.
The Joint Research Center of the European Commission is calling for contributions to the Commission's roadmap to phasing out animal testing in the assessment of chemical safety.
The Joint Research Center's Summer School offers participants the unique opportunity to learn from experts in the field of animal-free testing procedures. The event is now taking place for the 5th time in Ispra, Italy.
The Physicians Committee’s ERA21 travel awards are designed to support the next generation of life sciences researchers using human-based nonanimal methods. The monetary value of each award will be determined on a case-by-case basis depending on the conference.
An Australian research team has developed a new 3D printing process in which an engineered air-liquid interface is acoustically modulated. According to the research team, this can be used to generate centimeter-scale 3D structures in tens of seconds.
The Animal-Free Safety Assessment Collaboration (AFSA) has designed an online masterclass. The curriculum leads participants step-by-step through ten animal-free tests using real-world case studies.
The Chen Institute and Science launched the "Chen Institute and Science Prize for AI Accelerated Research" in August 2024. This initiative aims to drive advancements in artificial intelligence that can expand scientific research. Young scientists from around the world are invited to submit AI-driven projects that demonstrate significant potential to improve research and lives.
Microphysiological systems (MPS) comprise a number groundbreaking developments of bioengineering that can reproduce organ architecture and function in vitro.
In 2025 again, the European Partnership for Alternative Approaches to Animal Testing (EPAA) will support students and young scientists who are outstanding in their work in the field of alternative approaches to animal testing to enable them to participate in a top-class scientific event.
One of this year's Tiburtius Prizes goes to Dr. rer. nat. Robin Winter from Freie Universität Berlin. In his doctoral thesis in the “Artificial Intelligence for the Sciences” working group led by Prof. Frank Noé, he developed a machine learning method that is of interest for drug research.
