News & Events

The theme of this summer school is “Models & Simulations for highly multifactorial disorders”. It provides you with an integrative view of state-of-the-art research for in silico medicine, following a complete pipeline from basic science and clinical needs, to model application. The key methodological and technological concepts are enriched by afternoon hands-on sessions.

The MPS (Microphysiological Systems) World Summit will bring together a global audience composed of various stakeholders governmental and academic institutions, research communities, industry, policy makers, and more to create a roadmap for MPS technologies. 

Abstract submission deadline: February 14^th, 2022

The Summer School on Innovative Approaches in Science aims to speed up progress in ethical and effective scientific research by supporting a new generation of scientists who utilize and champion nonanimal methods for research and testing. The Summer School offers two tracks – toxicology and biomedical science. The program consists of scientific talks, career development workshops, poster presentations, laboratory tours and demonstrations, networking opportunities, and more. 

Deadline for application: February 18, 2022

This summer school will share knowledge and experience on modern alternatives to animals testing, including in vitro and computational modeling in toxicology and biomedical sciences.

Applications open in December.

This Forum will address 5 panels:

•     Chemicals regulation
•     Defining Safe and Sustainable substances to replace substances of concern
•     Integrating chemicals risk management with circularity and climate
•     Accelerating replacement of animal toxicity testing
•     The sound management of chemicals and waste

This workshop will address the 3Rs Principle in the field of aquaculture research. The speakers will discuss fundamental theories about the 3Rs, the legislative framework of its adaptation, challenges and opportunities of its application in this area.

It is open to students, researchers, academicians, industry stakeholders, policymakers, and authorities.

During this webinar following topics will be addressed:

• The use of AOPs in modelling of pathogenesis of COVID-19 (the CIAO project) by Penny Nymark
• An AOP developed to describe pregnancy-related cholestasis by Jennifer Waspe,
• The skin sensitization AOP and its pioneering role in animal-free testing strategies by Silvia Casati.

This meeting will focus on predictive in vitro lung models designed for basic research, efficacy and toxicity testing. It aims to present the state-of-art of in vitro lung models, and to map out the route for its future development and use. The program includes:

Modeling COPD/Asthma/IPF and CF in vitro, 
Infectious diseases,
Lung cancer,
Inhalation toxicity testing,
Exposure devices,
Chips and interconnections
