“Thanks to VitalTissue, high-quality human residual tissue is easily accessible in an ethical manner.”
“Wij zetten in op ontwikkeling, doorontwikkeling en de implementatie van New Approach Methodologies (NAMs)” stelt Martijn Nolte, senior programmamanager Meer Kennis met Minder Dieren (MKMD) bij ZonMw.
“As a research funder, I believe it is essential that (bio)medical research is directly relevant to humans. In practice, we see that translational research often stalls, partly because animal models do not always accurately replicate human biology. At the same time, access to high-quality human residual tissue is complex and fragmented. VitalTissue resolves this issue in an accessible, ethically responsible manner, thereby providing researchers with the building blocks to develop research models that better align with human biology, as vital human residual tissues.”
“Met de ontwikkeling van deze NAMs en het gebruik hiervan in baanbrekend innovatief onderzoek, versnellen we de transitie naar proefdiervrije innovatie. Wij juichen dit initiatief dan ook van harte toe. Sterker nog: we motiveren onze aanvragers om humaan restweefsel te gebruiken, nu dat kan via VitalTissue, én hiervoor budget op te nemen in hun projectaanvragen.”
