The FDA has taken a significant step forward by accepting the first organ-on-a-chip technology to study drug-induced liver injury. This milestone highlights the progress made by Emulate, Inc.—a leader in microphysiological systems (MPS) development—in utilizing the guidelines from the IQ MPS Affiliate consortium, paving the way for greater regulatory acceptance of animal-free safety assessment models. #drugdevelopment #drugsafety #animalfreesafety #microphysiologicalsystems #organchips #IQMPS #FDA #innovation
Today, FDA has accepted the first letter of intent into the Innovative Science and Technology Approaches for New Drugs (ISTAND) Pilot Program for an organ-on-a-chip technology to study drug-induced liver injury for certain drug candidates: https://lnkd.in/e4_HYmkr
