OUR DOMAINS
Participate in our societal impact challenges.
Magic happens when we work together.
How can we eradicate the use of testing animals in the life sciences?
WHY? There is a societal push to move away from animals and a scientific pull from new technologies (in cell culturing, possibly AI/modeling) and awareness that mice are not good models for humans.
How can we prevent antibiotic resistance from becoming our next pandemic?
WHY? Infectious diseases are on the rise due to AMR and a serious threat for humans (and animals).
How can we identify targets in complex biological systems? Should we aim for more than one and is that possible?
WHY? Low hanging fruit in pharma with the one target one drug is harvested and this model is under pressure. What are the options?
Personalized medicine, nutrition and toxicity: how to unleash its potential?
WHY? Improved quality of life (efficative drugs with no off target effects, personalized diets with specific health benefits, awareness of sensitivities to toxic compounds)
