Based at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health & University of Konstanz. Humane Science = the best science
Info
Since its establishment in 1981 with a $1 million grant from the Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association, the Johns Hopkins Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing (CAAT) has been pioneering humane science and alternatives to animal testing. Today, CAAT is a world leader in the development and use of new approach methods in biomedical research, product safety testing, and education. CAAT seeks to effect change by working with scientists in industry, government, and academia to find new ways to replace animals with non-animal methods, reduce the numbers of animals necessary, or refine methods to make them less painful or stressful to the animals involved. In 2010, CAAT became the first transatlantic competence center in the field of alternatives with the establishment of CAAT-Europe at the University of Konstanz, Germany. Since then, CAAT and CAAT-Europe have brought together stakeholders from the US and Europe to forge consensus, harmonize policy, and drive scientific innovation.

Coming soon: we’ll be having a panel session on organoid intelligence (OI) at BMES 2024! Organoid intelligence is the study of lab-grown brain model systems and their role in biocomputing. Whether you’re well-versed in OI or curious about this exciting new field, we encourage you to join us for talks on the development of organoids and their role in everything from disease modeling to synergy with AI. Stay tuned for future updates! #BMES2024 #CAAT #OrganoidIntelligence #OI #HumaneScience #STEM #3Rs

The Johns Hopkins University Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing (CAAT) and the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine are launching a new workshop series focused on animal-free New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) in biomedical research. The first two-hour online workshop will take place on Tuesday, November 19th, at 10 am ET/ 4 pm CET via Zoom. We will kick off the workshop series with a talk by Jarrod Bailey, PhD, who will explain how human-focused research provides greater clinical benefits. Due to significant biological differences, animal models often fail to translate effectively to human biology, leading to poor clinical outcomes in areas like drug testing and research on diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, HIV/AIDS, and cancer. Chronic stress in laboratory animals further impairs results, and genetic modification does little to bridge species differences. Science is now shifting toward advanced human-specific methods, or NAMs (New Approach Methodologies), using patient-derived cells, organoids, organ-on-a-chip systems, and AI. These approaches are not only humane but also more reflective of human biological diversity, marking the future of ethical, effective biomedical research. The second part of the workshop will focus on writing successful grant applications for funding non-animal methods research. Angela Hvitved, PhD will address two key topics: 1. Funding Sources: An overview of organizations advancing non-animal research methods and current funding opportunities. 2. Writing Competitive Applications: Practical tips for crafting strong proposals, tailored to various funding bodies. Attendees will learn what makes a grant application compelling and how to align ideas with funding opportunities.

Just published: a fantastic article from Johns Hopkins Magazine titled "Reimagining Alternatives to Animal Testing". This piece offers insight into CAAT's current work and future goals, while situating the center within the broader alternatives community. CAAT Director Thomas Hartung has big plans for reducing—and in more and more cases, replacing—animal testing. Start by taking a look at a few standout quotes covering some of the reimagined alternatives, then access the article in full via the link below! 🔗: https://lnkd.in/gmiwT_Xt
