Front page of AIMBE's one-pager on Alternatives to Animal Models in Biomedical Research: Innovations in New Approach Methodologies (NAMs).

Back page of AIMBE's one-pager on Alternatives to Animal Models in Biomedical Research: Innovations in New Approach Methodologies (NAMs).

We discussed the latest scientific advances in developing New Approach Methodologies (NAMs), opportunities for their growth, and key considerations for validating and commercializing these technologies.

Importantly, we highlighted the crucial role of bioengineers in supporting these efforts 💪
