This course is dedicated to the study of advanced three-dimensional in vitro and in vivo models, with the aim of improving drug safety assessment and reducing the use of animals, among other subjects.
The programme includes seminars with national and international experts from academy and industry, focusing on predictive toxicology and innovative methodologies. Students will work in interdisciplinary groups to develop a research project, which will serve as their final assessment.
Among the skills to be acquired are knowledge of spheroids, organoids, organ-on-a-chip systems, emerging animal models (such as zebrafish and humanised mice), stem cells and iPSCs derived from patients, as well as the use of computational tools for non-clinical data integration.
Aimed at FFUL doctoral students, it is also open to external members of the academic and scientific community.
