Preclinical in vitro Models for the Replacement, Reduction and Refinement of Mouse Models in Preclinical Studies (PRIM-TECH3R)

Project description

In vitro models to reduce animal use in preclinical research

The EU-funded PRIM-TECH3R project is dedicated to developing advanced in vitro models to reduce reliance on animal testing in preclinical research. By establishing standardised protocols and robust validation procedures, the project strives to create reliable complex in vitro models (CIVMs) that complement traditional in vivo studies. This initiative includes building a repository of preclinical in vitro resources like models, protocols and biobanks, fostering collaboration between research infrastructures and the biomedical industry, providing training programmes for researchers and supporting industrial applications of the developed CIVMs in preclinical research.

Objective

The use of mouse models in biomedical research has been pivotal in understanding human diseases due to their genetic and physiological similarities to humans. However, concerns on ethics and translatability have prompted a shift towards alternative methods such as complex in vitro models (CIVMs). PRIM-TECH3R addresses this shift by leveraging advanced technologies to develop reliable mouse and human CIVMs for preclinical studies, aiming to reduce and refine the use of animal models. Through standardised protocols and robust validation procedures, the project will create state-of-the-art in vitro models from mouse disease models, complementing existing in vivo models. This initiative aligns with EU policy objectives and societal demands to address phasing out of animal testing in biomedical research. The project will establish a comprehensive repository of preclinical resources, ensure open access, and foster collaboration between research infrastructures and the biomedical industry. Training programmes will equip personnel with the necessary skills to provide CIVMs to the research community. By achieving these objectives, PRIM-TECH3R aims to advance the state-of-the-art in research infrastructures, facilitate industrial exploitation, and contribute to transformative changes in biomedical research practices.
