A World-Leading Centre for Predictive in vitro Model Research, Training and Translation
Research with the Centre incorporates a wide range of model systems including 2D and 3D cell culture models, organoids, microphysiological systems, organ-on-a-chip technology, Non Animal Methods (NAMs), and other types of in vitro model.
With approximately 100 academic staff across the Faculty of Science and Engineering and the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary's Centre for Predictive in vitro Models is leading development and use of these complex in vitro models in partnership an extensive list of partners and industry affiliates.
Queen Mary provide leadership in this field hosting the annual UK symposium and engaging with Government, policy makers, funders, industry and other stake holders to support development and adoption of this transformative technology.
