The @BioMed21 Collaboration will be coming together this week to strategize on identifying practical strategies to accelerate the development, validation, regulatory uptake & adoption of NAMs across Europe.
📢 Stay tuned for key insights, recos and outcomes of the workshop.
The US @NIH has appointed a champion of human-relevant research, Dr. Warren Casey , to lead its newly established Office of Research Innovation, Validation & Application (ORIVA).
The appointment signals continued momentum toward non-animal methods in biomedical research.
U.S. @NIH has awarded $7M to 20 research teams developing innovative technologies that aim to reduce & replace the use of animals in biomedical research.

An important milestone for modern biomedical research!
The @OHSUNews has approved a resolution to transform the Oregon National Primate Research Center into a leading center for non-animal research while substantially reducing the use of monkeys.
Our new report, "Funding for Non-Animal Science – A Moonshot for NAMs in Europe" highlights a clear message from a recent @Europarl_EN roundtable: EU must move beyond developing NAMs and focus on implementation, regulatory uptake & real-world impact.
