News & Events

The aim of the JRC Summer School is to share knowledge and experience on the latest non-animal approaches used in research and testing including in vitro methods and computational modelling.

In addition, the intention is to explore the role of the Three Rs (Replacement, Reduction and Refinement of animal experiments) in science today through discussion and debate.

During this webinar, participants will learn more about various QSAR models applied for skin sentitization.

This workshop will bring together experts to discuss the research advances that have been made in the field of multi-cellular engineered living systems (M-CELS) as well as the technical, ethical, and societal challenges of building such systems. 

This workshop is intended to stimulate discussions about the practical implementation of computational methods for data analysis and predictive modelling approaches such as (Quantitative) Structure-Activity Relationships, read-across and high throughput and high content (HT/HC) screening methods. These and other mechanistically based approaches can support data-driven decision-making frameworks.

The Summer School will focus this year on "Tackling Complexity". More details on the programme will be available soon.

This webinar will present "NephroScreen", a human kidney-on-a-chip platform that can be used as an early in vitro screen for drug-induced nephrotoxicity. The platform was developed to address the 2013 NephroTube CRACK IT Challenge.

The webinar is part of the CRACK IT 10-year anniversary celebrations.

The 2020 ESB conference is organized by the Department of Chemistry, Materials and Chemical Engineering ‘Giulio Natta’ and the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering of Politecnico di Milano in cooperation with the Italian Chapter of the ESB. The two organising Departments are also running a Doctorate course in Bioengineering, and their biomechanical activities are focused on in vitro and in silico experiments.

This workshop will bring together various stakeholders to share the latest advances on innovative methods in tumor immunology and other fields of biomedical research, and to discuss the future of non-animal models in biomedical research. You will be able to connect with people and reduce communication gaps, and help educate new generations and strengthen future bridges.
