Objectives

Propose an alternative method without animal testing in the regulatory field of acute oral toxicity in humans.

Axe 2 : Bio-printing of human tissue — Poietis in partnership with AOP.

Objectives

Partnership for the application the LUCS / VALITOX technology on bio-printing human tissue.

2017 — 2018

Development of a “mini-brain” based on stem cells — Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine / University of Luxembourg.

Objectives

To deepen research on Parkinson’s disease through the use of 2 models : a three-dimensional neural network in culture and a complex human brain organoid.

2015 — 2016

Axe 1 : New synthetic skin pattern — Laboratoire Atoxigen.

Objectives

Test chemical compounds (such as those used in the composition of household products) currently still tested on animals.

Axe 2 : Support for the 2014 – 2015 award with the purchase of a 3D printer for mini-lung modeling — Oncothéis and Epithelix.
