New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) for Biomedical and Regulatory Testing
Funds development of lab-grown human tissue models, organ-on-chip systems and AI-driven simulations that can replace animal testing in drug and medical device development.
This Research and Innovation Action funds validated New Approach Methodology platforms, such as organ-on-chip systems, organoids, iPSC-based models and AI-driven modelling, that can substitute for animal testing in biomedical research or in regulatory safety assessment of medicines, devices or chemicals. Consortia must bring together academia, health-related infrastructures, SMEs, industry and reg…
This call funds platforms built on organoids, organ-on-chip systems, induced pluripotent stem cells or AI-driven modelling that can substitute for animal testing in biomedical research or in regulatory safety assessment of medicines, devices or chemicals. It wants platforms validated against OECD or EMA guidance, with active engagement from regulators built in from the start.
