News & Events

In this interactive course at a beginning master level, you will learn the best practices of advanced in vitro models, including organoids and organs-on-a-chip. It aims to create awareness on the potential of human-based physiological models for human health research and replacement of animal testing. For this course you are required to upload a Motivation Letter and C.V.

Registration deadline: 27/06/2025.

The final webinar of the VICT3R: Virtually Speaking series is scheduled for July 8th, 2025 from 8:00 - 8:30 AM ET and 2:00 - 2:30 PM CEST. The talk will be led by Thomas Hartung on the topic of "The new scAInce – AI as the transformative technology enabling new scientific approaches such as VICT3R".

The Summ3R School will be organised as a theoretical-pratical course focusing on the lastest advances in 3Rs research. The event is aimed at students who have completed a Master's degree or PhD students, working in relevant fields of basic, applied or translational research.

Registration fee includes: attendance to all the theoretical and pratical sessions, teaching materials (digital and paper copy), light lunch, social dinner, certificate of participation.

This webinar is focused on the 'Active implementation of the 3R principle in musculoskeletal research'. It is hosted by the Translational Animal Research Center (TARC). 

Speaker: Annemarie Lang, University of Michigan, USA

Participation is free of charge.

ICCVAM holds an annual public forum to share information, facilitate communication of ideas and suggestions from stakeholders, and foster partnerships. Representatives of ICCVAM member agencies will describe their agencies' activities to advance new approaches to safety testing of chemicals and medical products and to reduce the amount of testing required. Public is invited to present oral public statements on topics relevant to ICCVAM activities. Wishing to provide public statements? Contact ICCVAMquestions@niehs.nih.gov by July 15.

This webinar will discuss current activities in the development and validation of complex in vitro models. Scheduled speakers and topics include: 

• Danilo Tagle will discuss NCATS' program on MPS
• Ivan Rusyn will present an overview of the TEX-VAL Consortium for validation and qualification of MPS
• Remi Villenave will provide an industry perspective on adoption and validation of advanced models, including consideration of regulatory acceptance

This summer school will be focused on the practical use of in silico tools in predictive toxicology and risk assessment. The materials will be aimed at scientists and practitioners who are not necessarily experienced modelling experts, but have been or are starting to use such methods in their data management, analysis and modelling work, and would like to improve their competency and skills in using methods, tools, models and software.
