UCBM has hosted the workshop "Innovation in biomedicine: advanced in vitro and in silico models", a joint initiative of the following projects: RF-2011/12 (#02347120), PRIN-2012 (#20125NMMLA), and UCBM Intramural Research Grant.
The smart integration of cell culture protocols, tissue engineering, microfabrication, advanced microscopy, and computational tools is leading to a new generation of research tools for diverse applications ranging from drug discovery to precision medicine. Additionally, in vitro and in silico models may represent a valid alternative to animal experimentation, fulfilling the 3Rs paradigm.
