FIN3R’s Post

Join us for the important course that will provide students with non-animal methods used in biomedical research, industry, and toxicology testing. The course will also showcase the latest technologies, including organ-on-chip, and findings from using alternative methods. Speakers from academia, industry, and regulatory bodies will discuss their work using alternative non-animal methods. The students will have the opportunity to present their scientific work and to meet the speaker for informal interactions. There will also be opportunities to visit local biomedical research companies to learn about their work on alternative methods in practice. Credit points: 1-2 (1 ECTS for attendance at lectures; 2 ECTS for attendance at lectures, and a written report, a short summary of 1-2 lectures written after the course or a poster or presentation).
