RE-Place: a database centralising the available expertise on NAMs in Belgium

03:252 years ago

RE-Place is a scientific project funded by the Flemish and Brussels government which aims to collect all available expertise on the use of alternative methods to animal testing, also known as ‘New Approach Methodologies (NAMs)’ in one central database.

As the development of NAMs is continuously evolving, it can be challenging for (young) scientists to find relevant information on the use thereof. In order to facilitate access to this type of information, the ‘RE-Place’ project was launched. The RE-Place database not only provides a reliable overview of the different NAMs, but also the names of experts and research centres where these techniques can be learned in Belgium. If you are interested to participate in this project, don’t hesitate to contact info@RE-Place.be!

The RE-Place project is coordinated by Sciensano and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel.

EURL ECVAM

The EU Reference Laboratory for alternatives to animal testing (EURL ECVAM) promotes and facilitates the use of non-animal methods in testing and research. It validates, disseminates and shares knowledge on the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction and Refinement of animal experiments). In this video, Raffaella Corvi explains what EURL ECVAM does in the field of safety testing of chemicals while reducing laboratory animal testing.

Helpathon #11 – Can you help Terry?

Terry Vrijenhoek (UMC Utrecht) is a geneticist and explores the societal impact of gene therapy. In this Helpathon the focus is on Alzheimers, for which there is no cure but there is a promising RNA-based therapy in the pipeline. Can you help Terry with designing scenarios for responsible development for gene therapy for Alzheimer disease in terms of benefits, risks, budgets and animal models?

Helpathon #11 – Can you help Francesca?

Francesca Stillitano (UMC Utrecht) is a geneticist and an Assistant Professor at the Department of Cardiology. Francesca is currently working with mice models and with human tissue-based in vitro models to develop and test new gene therapies for a rare cardiomyopathy. Can you help Francesca with developing gene therapies for curing inherited cardiomyopathies without the use of animal models? More information can be found here (https://www.helpathonhotel.org/coming-up).
