EC3R research

Three-dimensional (3D) tissue culture models have been the subject of research for more than ten years. They are considered an important methodological breakthrough in modern biomedicine and have the potential to contribute significantly to the implementation of the 3Rs principle. Increasing evidence suggests that (human) 3D tissue models can better reflect human biology than traditional 2D culture models and at least some animal models.

However, what is evident is that there is a significant need for research to describe the limitations and capabilities of the models and thus make them more useful for research in 3Rs and biomedicine as a whole.

The goal of the Einstein Center 3R is therefore to create robust models that provide reproducible results across laboratories.

3R Online Seminar | "Alternatives to animal use in research and education"

As part of the Berlin-Brandenburg research platform BB3R and in collaboration with the Freie Universität Berlin (FU Berlin) and the Berlin Einstein Center 3R (EC3R), the 3R online seminar series "Alternatives to animal use in research and education - Refine, Reduce & Replace" will take place again this year.

On 05.12.2024 at 3:00 - 4:30 p.m. the topic will be “Refinement and Reduction”.
Univ.-Prof. Dr. Lars Lewejohann will give a lecture on “Refinement in Laboratory Mouse Husbandry”. Univ.-Prof. Ard Nijhof speaks on the topic “Exploring Approaches to Complete the Life Cycle of Theileria annulata in Vitro”. Moderation: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Benedikt Kaufer
