We are proud to contribute to the CPBT (Centrum voor Proefdiervrije Biomedische Translatie). The new centre just launched its initial website. The CPBT aims to improve and accelerate the translation of new biomedical innovations to patients and users, with lower costs and without the use of animals. This will lead to safer, more effective, and better medicines while reducing animal testing. As a partner, Lygature provides program management and communication support to the CPBT, and will also contribute #regulatory expertise to the centre when it becomes fully operational. We are looking forward to working with the CPBT partners on the important mission of reducing animal testing. #biomedical #innovation #animalfree
We are excited to announce the launch of the initial CPBT website! The website is now live at: www.cpbt.nl. The Centre for Animal-Free Biomedical Translation (CPBT, in Dutch: Centrum voor Proefdiervrije Biomedische Translatie) is a national centre for valorizing and disseminating animal-free innovations and expertise. It aims to improve and accelerate the translation of new biomedical innovations to patients and users, with lower costs and without the use of animals. This will lead to safer, more effective, and better medicines while reducing animal testing. The CPBT received a positive funding recommendation from the Nationaal Groeifonds (NGF) earlier this year. The total budget available to the CPBT in the period from 2025 to 2034 is 245 million euros. 124.5 million of this budget is an investment from the NGF, the other funds are being contributed by public and private CPBT partners. The CPBT NGF application was submitted by the Ministerie van Landbouw, Visserij, Voedselzekerheid en Natuur (LVVN, formerly LNV) within the framework of the Transitie Proefdiervrije Innovatie (TPI) program. The centre unites over 60 partners from academia, industry, regulatory agencies, patient organizations, government bodies, and NGOs. Core partners of the CPBT are: Utrecht University, HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht (Hogeschool Utrecht), UMC Utrecht and RIVM National Institute for Public Health and the Environment. We are currently starting up the CPBT operations, and are expecting the centre to become fully operational soon.
