Award Winners
In partnership with MatTek Life Sciences, PETA Science Consortium International e.V. awarded Professor Dr Eleonore Fröhlich from the Medical University of Graz in Austria and Dr Elizabeth McInnes of Syngenta Ltd in the UK with free EpiAlveolar and EpiAirway three-dimensional reconstructed human tissue models that can be used to assess the respiratory effects of inhaled substances.
Dr Charu Chandrasekera, executive director of the Canadian Centre for Alternatives to Animal Methods, won a CelTox Sampler from the Science Consortium and MedTec Biolab. The device can be used to assess respiratory toxicity in vitro.
The Science Consortium also honoured Peter Pôbiš, a master’s student at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, for a poster he presented on a three-dimensional model of the human cornea at the European Commission’s virtual JRC Summer School on Non-Animal Approaches in Science.
Congratulations to the winners!
