This webinar explores the development and application of non-animal approaches in infection and immunity, including organoids to research host-microbe interactions, using human cells in vaccine development and digital twins of autoimmune disease.
Speakers:
- Prof Sina Bartfeld – Technische Universität Berlin, Germany: Infection, innate immune signalling and cancer in the gut – Organoids as models.
- Dr Rachel Tanner – University of Oxford, UK: A cross-species ex vivo assay for tuberculosis vaccine testing.
- Prof Anna Niarakis – University of Toulouse III, Paul Sabatier, Center of Integrative Biology, France: Building a virtual twin of the rheumatic joint.
- A Q&A panel discussion will be facilitated by Rasmus Normann Nielsen, Head of Communication at the Danish 3R-Center.
Attendance will be certified.
Date and Time: 26.02.2025, 14:00-15:20 CET

About the webinar series:
In four sessions, the latest webinar series from The Togeth3R Consortium of European 3Rs centres will showcase non-animal approaches in the top four research fields of animal use in the UK and Europe:
Each webinar will feature three researchers presenting the scientific and 3Rs benefits of their approach, before a panel discussion on the latest developments and overcoming barriers to adoption. From organoids to microphysiological systems, using patient-derived samples or computational modelling, the series will showcase the efforts across Europe to deliver better science and replace animal models.
