Fueling the future
Following completion of proof-of-concept pilot projects funded by Animal Free Research UK, our researchers have been able to secure further large funding to continue on their animal-free research journey:
Thanks to Animal Free Research UK funding, Dr Paul Holloway at the University of Oxford was able to secure a £150,000 grant from the University of Cambridge and an Oxford based biotech company to use their organ-on-a-chip system to test a novel therapeutic approach to treat genetic stroke disorders.
Dr Ali Kermanizadeh at the University of Derby was able to secure funding from Innovate UK to continue testing the safety and efficacy of candidate nanomedicines for liver disease.
