World-Leading Research, Training, Facilities, and Translation

Our vision is to work with key stakeholders to develop and translate innovative in vitro models for highest quality discovery science and to accelerate delivery of safe and effective medicines for the benefit of wider society.

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 pre-clinical translational models.

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.

The Centre for Predictive in vitro Models provides leadership in this field hosting the annual UK organ-chip symposium, our e-symposia programme, and engaging with Government, policy makers, funders, industry and other stake holders to support development and adoption of this transformative technology.
